Where Glencoe is and where it came from
Glencoe sits where Highway 109 and Old State Road come together. A post office opened there in 1855, and the community also had a Missouri Pacific railroad station. Its name comes from Glen Coe in Scotland.
The city's own map lists Glencoe City Park at 505 Washington Avenue, Bluff View Park and Trail at 1900 Old State Road and Rockwoods Reservation at 2751 Glencoe Road. Use those as reference points when you describe your location.
Eureka is a separate city, so its offices and utility arrangements do not automatically apply to a Glencoe address. Confirm which city and utility serve your property before you rely on a neighbor's answer.
River valley, sump pumps and standing water
Glencoe is on the west side of the Meramec River. We found no published flood record for specific Glencoe streets, so this page makes no claim about your property. For scale, the National Weather Service recorded the Meramec near Eureka cresting at 46.06 feet on December 30, 2015, which our Eureka page covers.
If your home is low or near the valley, test the pump before a storm. Pour water into the pit and watch it start and empty. A sump pump plumber can talk through a battery backup if power loss worries you.
Public water, a well or a private sewer: ask first
Some Wildwood properties are on public water and sewer and some use wells or private systems. We have not verified the arrangement for Glencoe, so do not assume either answer. Check your water bill, your property records or the city.
If you have a well, a softener or filter question starts with a water test. If you have a private system, tell the dispatcher, because it changes what we can safely flush through the line.
Before you call about water
- Find the main shutoff.
Know where it is before a leak, and turn it off if water will not stop.
- Stay clear of standing water.
If water reaches outlets or the panel, keep out and do not touch anything electrical.
- Photograph the damage.
Dated photos help if you talk to an insurer, and your policy decides what is covered.
- Note the pump and its power.
Say whether the sump pump runs, hums or stays silent, and whether the power is on.
Tell us what the water is doing
Call, give your Glencoe street address and describe the leak, the pump or the smell.
