MMSD Storm Update Aug 9-11, 2025
Stay out of floodwater - it may have sewage, chemicals, or trash. Never walk or drive through floodwater. Wear boots and gloves for cleanup, and wash your hands after.
Food Safety After Flooding. Throw away any food, drinks, or medicine that has come into contact with floodwater. Toss food in packages that are wet or damaged. Wash and sanitize dishes, utensils, and counters that came into contact with floodwater.
Do You Have Standing Water in Your Basement?
If you have standing water in your basement, DO NOT go into the basement! Electricity + Water = Danger.
Wait for the water to drain out of the basement before entering. Or, call a qualified electrician to disconnect the power before you enter a flooded basement.
Call your municipal public works department to report local flooding, and call your homeowners/renters insurance agent.
Please fill out the "Report a Basement" form to help track flooding in our area, which is shared with the 29 municipalities MMSD serves.
