MMSD is Your Clean Water Partner


The Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility celebrates 100 years of protecting and preserving the water in our homes, communities, and the environment.

Since 1994, MMSD has captured and cleaned 98.4% of all water entering the regional sewer system, and the Deep Tunnels have prevented more than 167.3 billion gallons of pollution from entering Lake Michigan.
