Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District

Residential Customers without Water Meters

Not all properties in the MSD service area have water meters. MSD has adopted the same method of determining water usage as that used by the water provider. The following table illustrates the relationship of water usage to that of rooms and plumbing fixtures.

*A parcel's street frontage, measured in feet, is used by water utilities to estimate the amount of water used for lawn irrigation. However, MSD does not charge for water that is not returned to the sewer system.
