SUMMARY: MSD crews are preparing for up to 5 inches of rain in St. Louis through Sunday to prevent flash flooding. Voters approved Prop S last year, which will provide over $700 million for wastewater improvements starting in December. MSD spokeswoman Nicole Spencer explains that while crews work year-round to maintain over 160,000 storm inlets, debris can clog systems, leading to flooding. Homeowners are advised to clear gutters and downspouts. MSD relies on public reports for flooding issues. For updates, residents can use MSD’s flood map or call customer service at 314-768-6260.
