Utilities & Air.
The air today and over the month, water and sewer notices, and where to check the power — from the agencies themselves.
Air quality
Day by day
Each day’s finished AQI, the last 30 days. 18 good · 12 moderate.
Colors are AirNow’s standard categories. Values are the day’s peak for the St. Louis reporting area, which covers the whole metro — there is no neighborhood-level reading.
Power
Winter rates, through May.
Peak pricing on the time-of-use plans: 6–8 AM and 6–8 PM weekdays (Smart and Ultimate Savers) · 9 AM–9 PM every day (Evening/Morning Savers). The default Anytime Users plan has one rate all day.
Outages and grid conditions are the utility’s and the grid operator’s to report; we link to them rather than pull from them.
Water and sewer
Nothing from the water division or MSD right now.
Boil advisories, main breaks, and sewer work appear here as the agencies publish them.
Check or report
Is the power out?
Ameren’s live outage map. We link to it rather than pull from it — their terms don’t allow the latter.
Water
City Water Division — current boil advisories
Sewer
MSD Project Clear — report a backup or overflow
