MSD Plumbing Modification Program Avoid Basement Backups and Improve Water Quality At No Cost

Program Overview

The Metropolitan Sewer District, or MSD, offers two voluntary programs under their Plumbing Modification Program. The goal of the MSD is to reduce basement backups and remove improper connections to the Louisville sewer system. This program has helped thousands of residential property owners to prevent basement flooding, decrease sewer system overflows to our streams and rivers, and improve water quality within Jefferson County.

MSD offers this voluntary program at no charge to you.

MSD invites property owners to participate in these voluntary plumbing programs to protect your home and the community’s streams from overflows of untreated sewage.

Basement Backflow Prevention Program

If you decide to participate in the Plumbing Modifications Program, you must obtain at least two bids from Louisville plumbers on their Approved Plumbers List. Dauenhauer Plumbing Heating & Air is proud to be included in the list of approved plumbers for the Plumbing Modifications Program.
