MSD's Wet Weather Improvement Plan is Now PROJECT GROUNDWORK

Note: Please visit the Project Groundwork website for information on MSD's current work involving Wet Weather Improvement issues in our community.

To improve the quality of our lives — through cleaner streams, improved protection of public health, and enhancements to the communities where we work, live, and play — Hamilton County, Ohio is embarking on one of the largest public works projects in its 200-plus year history.

Called Project Groundwork, this major initiative is designed to:

  • Reduce or eliminate sewage overflows into local rivers and streams and sewage backups into basements.
  • Benefit Hamilton County communities through environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable solutions to these current problems; and
  • Revitalize the economy through creation of jobs and growth opportunities for local businesses.

Project Groundwork is your program. It's an investment in your community for generations to come.
