Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents- All highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of 90 days or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents. Where there is no right of offset against cash balances, outstanding checks are included in accounts payable. Receivables- Receivables are amounts due from customers. To reduce credit risk, credit investigations are generally performed prior to accepting orders from new customers and, when necessary, letters of credit, bonds or other instruments are required to ensure payment. We present trade receivables net of an allowance for credit losses. Our consolidated statements of operations reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized trade receivables, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. When we determine a specific trade receivable will not be collected, we charge off the uncollectible amount against the allowance. Our periodic evaluations of expected credit losses are based upon our judgments regarding prior collection experience, specific customer creditworthiness, other current conditions, and forecasts of current economic trends within the industries served that may affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Significantly weaker than anticipated industry or economic conditions could impact customers’ ability to pay such that actual credit losses may be greater than the amounts provided for in this allowance. During 2016, FASB issued standard ASC 326 - Current Expected Credit Losses to replace the previous GAAP “incurred loss” impairment approach with an approach intended to reflect “expected credit losses,” which will require consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for receivables. The standard will be adopted upon the effective date for us beginning October 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems. The following table summarizes information concerning our allowance for credit losses. 2019 2018 2017 (in millions) Balance at beginning of year $ 4.0 $ 4.1 $ 4.5 Provision charged to expense 0.3 0.5 0.3 Balances written off, net of recoveries (0.2 ) (0.7 ) (0.8 ) Reclassification under ASC 606 (0.6 ) — — Other — 0.1 0.1 Balance at end of year $ 3.5 $ 4.0 $ 4.1 Inventories- Inventories are recorded at the lower of first-in, first-out method cost or estimated net realizable value. We evaluate our inventory in terms of excess and obsolete exposures. This evaluation includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels and ultimate product sales value. Inventory cost includes an overhead component that is affected by levels of production and actual costs incurred. We periodically evaluate the effects of production levels and costs capitalized as part of inventory. The following table summarizes information concerning our inventory valuation reserves. 2019 2018 2017 (in millions) Balance at beginning of year $ 5.1 $ 4.4 $ 4.6 Provision charged to expense 3.4 2.2 2.0 Inventory disposed (1.2 ) (1.2 ) (2.1 ) Other 0.2 (0.3 ) (0.1 ) Balance at end of year $ 7.5 $ 5.1 $ 4.4 Other Current Assets- Other current assets include maintenance supplies and tooling costs. Costs for perishable tools and maintenance items are expensed when put into service. Costs for more durable items are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 10 years. Property, Plant and Equipment- Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are 10 to 20 years for land improvements, 10 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in operating results in the period of disposition. Direct internal and external costs to implement computer systems and internal-use software are capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the system or software, generally 6 years, beginning when site installation or module development is complete and ready for use. Liabilities are recognized at fair value for asset retirement obligations related to plant and landfill closures in the period in which they are reasonably estimable and the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets are correspondingly increased. Over time, the liabilities are accreted to their estimated future values. At September 30, 2019 and 2018 , asset retirement obligations were $4.5 million and $4.1 million , respectively. Leases- During 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 Leases , which will require us to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases currently referred to as operating leases. This Update is effective for 2020 and requires the modified retrospective application and adoption of the requirement. We will adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective transition method beginning in the first quarter of 2020. We expect to record operating lease “right-of-use” assets and related lease liabilities of approximately $30.0 million each. Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets- We test indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for impairment annually (or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.) We perform our annual impairment testing at September 1. We amortize finite-lived intangible assets over their respective estimated useful lives and review for impairment if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Workers Compensation- Our exposure to workers compensation claims is generally limited to $1 million per incident. Liabilities, including those related to claims incurred but not reported, are recorded principally using annual valuations based on discounted future expected payments and using historical data combined with insurance industry data when historical data is limited. We are indemnified under an agreement with a predecessor to Tyco for all Mueller Co. and Anvil workers compensation liabilities related to incidents that occurred prior to August 16, 1999. See Note 17. We retained U.S. Pipe workers compensation liabilities related to incidents that occurred prior to the segment’s April 1, 2012 sale date, but the purchaser agreed to reimburse us for up to $11.8 million in payments we make related to these liabilities. At September 30, 2019 , the remaining discounted reimbursement receivable may be up to $3.4 million , which we have recorded as $0.4 million in other current assets and $3.0 million in other noncurrent assets. On an undiscounted basis, workers compensation liabilities were $8.7 million and $9.1 million at September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. On a discounted basis, workers compensation liabilities were $7.6 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. We apply a risk-free discount rate, generally a U.S. Treasury bill rate, for each policy period. The rate used is one with a duration that corresponds to the weighted average expected payout period for each policy period. Once a discount rate is applied to a policy period, it remains the discount rate for that policy period until all claims are paid. Warranty Costs- We accrue for warranty expenses, which can include costs of repair and/or replacement, including labor, materials, equipment, freight and reasonable overhead costs. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of sale if such costs are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable at that time. We monitor and analyze our warranty experience and costs periodically and may revise our warranty reserves as necessary. Critical factors in our reserve analyses include warranty terms, specific claim situations, general incurred and projected failure rates, the nature of product failures, product and labor costs, and general business conditions. As discussed in Note 17. , we recognized $14.1 million and $9.8 million of Technologies’ warranty expense during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, related to certain radios and other products sold in prior periods. Activity in accrued warranty, reported as part of both other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, is presented below. 2019 2018 2017 (in millions) Balance at beginning of year $ 20.0 $ 8.5 $ 2.0 Warranty accruals 3.9 18.7 12.3 Warranty costs (6.8 ) (7.2 ) (5.8 ) Balance at end of year $ 17.1 $ 20.0 $ 8.5 Deferred Financing Costs- Costs of debt financing are charged to expense over the lives of the related financing agreements. Remaining costs and the future period over which they would be charged to expense are reassessed when amendments to the related financing agreements or prepayments occur. ABL Agreement deferred financing costs are included in other noncurrent assets and other deferred financing costs are offset against long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs of $6.3 million at September 30, 2019 are scheduled to amortize as follows: $0.5 million related to the ABL Agreement amortizes on a straight-line basis; $5.8 million related to the Senior Unsecured Notes amortizes using the effective-interest rate method. All such amortization will be over the remaining term of the respective debt. See Note 7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- We managed interest rate risk to some extent using derivative instruments. We had designated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of interest payments. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these contracts prior to settlement were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and were reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. We recorded a cash gain of $2.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 upon termination of the interest rate swaps. We manage U.S. dollar - Canadian dollar exchange rate risk related to an intercompany loan with swap contracts, which we have not designated as hedges. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported currently in earnings. Income Taxes- Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Such liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We only record tax benefits for positions that management believes are more likely than not of being sustained under audit based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. The amount of tax benefit recognized for any position that meets the more likely than not threshold is the largest amount of the tax benefit that we believe is greater than 50% likely of being realized. On December 22, 2017, HR-1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”), was enacted, which made significant revisions to federal income tax laws, including lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% effective January 1, 2018, overhauling the taxation of income earned outside the United States and eliminating or limiting certain deductions. The Act subjects us to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Act states that we can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. In September 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2018-02 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits, but does not require, companies to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings any “stranded tax effects” caused by the Act. We have elected to not make such a reclassification. Environmental Expenditures- We capitalize environmental expenditures that increase the life or efficiency of noncurrent assets or that reduce or prevent environmental contamination. We accrue for environmental expenses resulting from existing conditions that relate to past operations when the costs are probable and reasonably estimable. We are indemnified under an agreement with a predecessor to Tyco for certain environmental liabilities that existed at August 16, 1999. See Note 17. Revenue Recognition - See Note 3. for more information regarding our revenues. Stock-based Compensation- Compensation expense for stock-based awards granted to employees and directors is based on the fair value at the grant dates for our stock-settled share awards and is based on the fair value at each reporting date for our cash-settled share awards. See Note 11. for more information regarding our stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Research and Development- Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Translation of Foreign Currency- Assets and liabilities of our businesses whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average currency exchange rates during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings as incurred. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | Revenue from Contracts with Customers We recognize revenue when control of promised products or services is transferred to our customers, in amounts that reflect the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. We determine the appropriate revenue recognition for our contracts with customers by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement with a customer. Disaggregation of Revenue We disaggregate our revenues from contracts with customers by reportable segment ( Note 16. ), and further by geographical region as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Geographical region represents the location of the customer. Contract Asset and Liability Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in customer receivables, advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Customer receivables include amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as unbilled amounts (contract assets). Amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms and unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue are recognized and recorded as deferred revenue, the majority of which is classified as current based on the timing when we expect to recognize revenue. We include current deferred revenue as part of our accrued expenses. Deferred revenues represent contract liabilities and are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements. Contract liabilities are reversed when the performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized. The table below represents the balances of our customer receivables and deferred revenues. September 30, 2019 2018 (in millions) Billed receivables $ 171.0 $ 165.3 Unbilled receivables 4.5 2.4 Total customer receivables, gross $ 175.5 $ 167.7 Deferred revenues $ 4.7 $ 3.3 Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time as related to sales of equipment or over time as related to our software hosting and leak detection monitoring services. Performance obligations are supported by customer contracts, which provide frameworks for the nature of the distinct products or services. We allocate the transaction price of each contract to the performance obligations on the basis of standalone selling price and recognize revenue when, or as, control of the performance obligation transfers to the customers. We have elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the transaction price of a contract for the effects of a significant financing component if, at the inception of the contract, we expect that the period between when we transfer a product or service to a customer and when a customer remits payment will be one year or less. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time represented 98% of our revenues in the year ended September 30, 2019. The revenues recognized at a point in time related to the sale of our products and was recognized when the obligations of the terms of our contract were satisfied, which generally occurs upon shipment, when control of the product transfers to the customer. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time represented 2% of our revenues in the year ended September 30, 2019. We offer warranties to our customers in the form of assurance-type warranties, which provide assurance that the products provided will function as intended and comply with any agreed-upon specifications. These cannot be purchased separately. There was no change to our warranty accounting as a result of the implementation of the new revenue standard and we will continue to use our current cost accrual method in accordance with GAAP. Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract We incur certain incremental costs to obtain a contract, which primarily relate to incremental sales commissions. Our commissions are paid based on shipment rather than on order and we reserve the right to claw back any commissions in case of product returns or lost collections. As the expected benefit associated with these incremental costs is one year or less based on the nature of the product sold and benefits received, we have applied a practical expedient and therefore do not capitalize the related costs and expense them as incurred, consistent with our previous accounting treatment. |

We received $7.4 million , recorded net current assets of $0.8 million and conveyed plant, property and equipment with a net carrying value of $0.4 million , and the buyer assumed related environmental liabilities with a carrying value of $1.2 million . Acquisition of Singer Valve On February 15, 2017, we acquired Singer Valve, a manufacturer of automatic control valves, and its affiliates for aggregate cash consideration of $26.6 million net of post-closing adjustments. Singer Valve had net sales of approximately $15 million in calendar 2016 and is included in Infrastructure. The allocation of consideration to the assets and liabilities of these companies, is presented below, in millions. Assets acquired, net of cash: Receivables $ 3.0 Inventories 5.8 Other current assets 0.2 Property, plant and equipment 1.0 Intangible assets 11.4 Goodwill 7.2 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 0.7 Other current liabilities 0.4 Current and long term debt 0.1 Deferred income tax liability 0.8 Consideration paid $ 26.6 Acquisition of Krausz On December 3, 2018, we completed our acquisition of the outstanding equity of Krausz, a manufacturer of pipe couplings, grips and clamps with operations in the United States and Israel, for $140.7 million , net of cash acquired, including the assumption and simultaneous repayment of certain debt of $13.2 million . The acquisition of Krausz was financed with cash on hand. We believe that the Krausz product line is complementary to our existing Infrastructure products and will improve our positioning in the pipe repair market. We have recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, with the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The accounting for the business combination is based on currently available information and is considered preliminary. We are still gathering information about property, plant, and equipment, based on facts that existed as of the date of the acquisition. In addition, not all Israeli tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2018 have been completed, and completion of these returns may identify changes to tax-related amounts that existed at the acquisition date and require adjustment to the opening balance sheet. During 2019, we made adjustments to our initially-recorded estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which decreased net working capital by $2.0 million , increased non-current assets and non-current liabilities by $1.7 million each, increased deferred income taxes by $9.9 million and increased intangible assets by $37.8 million , and which resulted in a net decrease in goodwill of $21.4 million . The final accounting for the business combination may differ materially from that presented in these consolidated financial statements. The results of Krausz, including net sales of $37.2 million , are included within our Infrastructure segment for all periods following the acquisition date. The preliminary estimated goodwill below is attributable to the strategic opportunities and synergies that we expect to arise from the acquisition of Krausz and the value of its workforce. The goodwill is nondeductible for income tax purposes. Identified intangible assets consist of patents, customer relationships and favorable leasehold interests with an estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 12 years and tradenames with an indefinite life. Values of intangible assets were determined using a discounted cash flow method. The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired (in millions): Assets, net of cash: Receivables $ 6.9 Inventories 17.0 Other current assets 0.2 Property, plant and equipment 8.4 Other non-current assets 1.7 Identified intangible assets: Patents 32.1 Customer relationships 8.7 Tradenames 4.6 Favorable leasehold interests 2.3 Goodwill 80.1 Liabilities: Accounts payable (5.5 ) Other current liabilities (2.9 ) Deferred income taxes (11.2 ) Other non-current liabilities (1.7 ) Consideration paid 140.7 Repayment of Krausz debt (13.2 ) Consideration paid included in net cash used in investing activities $ 127.5 |

Identifiable Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets and Goodwill Intangible Assets Direct internal and external costs to develop software licensed by Technologies’ customers are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over the 6 -year estimated useful life of the software, beginning when the software is complete and ready for its intended use. At September 30, 2019 , the remaining weighted-average amortization period for this software was 2.5 years. Amortization expense related to such software assets was $3.3 million , $2.9 million and $2.4 million for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is scheduled to be $3.7 million in 2020 , $2.9 million in 2021 , $2.4 million in 2022 , $1.9 million in 2023 and $1.2 million in 2024 . At September 30, 2019 , the remaining weighted-average amortization period for the business combination-related finite-lived customer relationship and technology intangible assets were 6.3 years and 5.2 years, respectively. Amortization expense related to these assets was $23.7 million , $19.9 million and $19.7 million for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The components of income before income taxes from continuing operations are presented below. 2019 2018 2017 (in millions) U.S. $ 78.4 $ 97.3 $ 82.7 Non-U.S. 3.7 (1.6 ) (4.2 ) Income before income taxes $ 82.1 $ 95.7 $ 78.5 On December 22, 2017, HR-1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”), was enacted, which made significant revisions to federal income tax laws, including lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% effective January 1, 2018, overhauling the taxation of income earned outside the United States and eliminating or limiting certain deductions. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the enacted tax rates in effect when we expect to recognize the related tax expenses or benefits. The average of these rates varies slightly from year to year but historically has been approximately 39% . With the legislation changing rates taking place in the quarter ended December 31, 2017, we remeasured our deferred tax items at an average rate of approximately 25% and recorded an income tax benefit of $42.5 million . The Act also imposes a one-time transition tax on the undistributed, previously-untaxed, post-1986 foreign “earnings and profits” (as defined by the IRS) of certain U.S.-owned corporations. Determination of our transition tax liability requires us to calculate foreign earnings and profits going back to 1992 and then to assess our historical overall foreign loss position and the applicability of certain foreign tax credits. In March 2018, we recorded a provisional transition tax of $7.5 million for the one-time deemed repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Upon further analyses of the Act and Notices and regulations issued and proposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS, we finalized our calculations of the transition tax liability during the quarter ended December 31, 2018. As a result, we reduced our initial provision by $0.6 million , which is included as a component of income tax expense. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining balance of our transition obligation is $5.8 million , which will be paid over the next seven years, as provided in the Act. Other than for Krausz’s investment in its U.S. subsidiary, we have not provided income taxes for unrepatriated foreign earnings that may be subject to withholding tax or any outside basis differences inherent in our foreign subsidiaries, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. We have a foreign tax credit carryforward of $4.5 million that we do not expect to utilize prior to expiration.

At September 30, 2019 and 2018 , we had $0.3 million and $0.8 million , respectively, of accrued interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits. The federal income tax returns for Mueller Co. and Anvil are closed for years prior to 2005 and for Mueller Water Products, Inc. for 2007 and 2008. Our 2009 through 2014 returns are closed except to the extent net operating losses from those years have been utilized on subsequent years’ returns. We also remain liable for any taxes related to U.S. Pipe sales for periods prior to 2012 pursuant to the terms of the sale agreement with the purchaser of the segment. Certain tax years remain open for our predecessor company, U.S. Pipe, which was a subsidiary of Walter Energy in those years. See Note 17. Our state income tax returns are generally closed for years prior to 2015, except to the extent of our state net operating loss carryforwards.

ABL Agreement . Our asset based lending agreement (“ABL Agreement”) consists of a revolving credit facility for up to $175 million of revolving credit borrowings, swing line loans and letters of credit. On July 19, 2018, we reduced our borrowing limit from $225 million to $175 million and wrote off a portion of the associated deferred financing costs, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million . The ABL Agreement also permits us to increase the size of the credit facility by an additional $150 million in certain circumstances. We may borrow up to $25 million through swing line loans and may have up to $60 million of letters of credit outstanding. Borrowings under the ABL Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 125 to 150 basis points, or a base rate, as defined in the ABL Agreement, plus a margin ranging from 25 to 50 basis points. At September 30, 2019 the applicable rate was LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The ABL Agreement terminates on July 13, 2021 . We pay a commitment fee for any unused borrowing capacity under the ABL Agreement of 25 basis points per annum. Borrowings are not subject to financial maintenance covenants unless excess availability is less than the greater of $17.5 million and 10% of the Loan Cap as defined in the ABL Agreement. Excess availability based on September 30, 2019 data, as reduced by outstanding letters of credit and accrued fees and expenses of $15.9 million , was approximately $140 million . 5.5% Senior Unsecured Notes. On June 12, 2018 , we privately issued $450.0 million of 5.5% Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”), which mature in June 2026 and bear interest at 5.5% . We capitalized $6.6 million of financing costs, which are being amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. Proceeds from the Notes, along with other cash, were used to repay our Term Loan. Substantially all of our U.S. Subsidiaries guarantee the Notes, which are subordinate to borrowings under the ABL. Based on quoted market prices, the outstanding Notes had a fair value of $470.3 million at September 30, 2019 . An indenture securing the Notes (“Indenture”) contains customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt, pay dividends, and make investments. We believe we were compliant with these covenants at September 30, 2019 and expect to remain in compliance through September 30, 2020. We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time prior to June 15, 2021 at certain “make-whole” redemption prices (as set forth in the Indenture) and on or after June 15, 2021 at specified redemption prices (as set forth in the Indenture). Additionally, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any time or from time to time prior to June 15, 2021 with the net proceeds of specified equity offerings at specified redemption prices (as set forth in the Indenture). Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Term Loan . We had a $500.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”), which accrued interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.75% , plus 250 basis points. The principal amount of the Term Loan was required to be repaid in quarterly installments, with any remaining principal due on November 25, 2021 . We repaid the Term Loan on June 15, 2018 with the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and cash on hand. We wrote-off the associated deferred debt issuance costs and recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $6.2 million . |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | Derivative Financial Instruments Prior to the June 15, 2018 retirement of our Term Loan, we were exposed to interest rate risk that we managed to some extent using derivative instruments. We terminated these instruments in conjunction with the retirement of the Term Loan. Under our interest rate swap contracts, we received interest calculated using 3-month LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.750% , and paid fixed interest at 2.341% , on an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million . These swap contracts effectively had fixed the cash interest rate on $150.0 million of our borrowings under the Term Loan at 4.841% through September 30, 2021 . We had designated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of our future interest payments and elected to apply the “shortcut” method of assessing hedge effectiveness. As a result, the gains and losses on the swap contracts had been reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and were reclassified into interest expense as the related interest payments were made. Upon termination of the interest rate swaps, we reclassified all associated amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings, which resulted in a cash gain of $2.4 million in June 2018. In connection with the acquisition of Singer Valve in 2017, we loaned funds to one of our Canadian subsidiaries. Although this intercompany loan has no direct effect on our consolidated financial statements, it creates exposure to currency risk for the Canadian subsidiary. To reduce this exposure, we entered into a U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar swap contract with the Canadian subsidiary and an offsetting Canadian dollar-U.S. dollar swap with a domestic bank. We have not designated these swaps as hedges and the changes in their fair value are included in earnings, where they offset the currency gains and losses associated with the intercompany loan. The values of our currency swap contracts were liabilities of $0.3 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in other noncurrent liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Defined Benefit Plan [Abstract] | |
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure | Retirement Plans We have had various pension plans (“Pension Plans”), which we have funded in accordance with their requirements and, where applicable, in amounts sufficient to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of applicable laws. The Pension Plans provided benefits based on years of service and compensation or at stated amounts for each year of service. The annual measurement date for all Pension Plans was September 30. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we settled our obligations to our Canadian pension plan participants through a combination of lump-sum payments and purchases of annuities. We made a net contribution to the plans of $0.7 million , which is included in pension costs other than service, to fund these settlements. As a result, we no longer have any plan assets or obligation in connection with any Canadian defined benefit pension plan. During 2018, with a recently negotiated labor contract, a group of our collectively bargained employees are no longer accruing benefits under a multi-employer pension plan. The affected employees are now participants in our defined contribution retirement plan with an employer match and one-time contribution of $0.4 million , which vests through 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we recorded an estimated settlement liability for exiting this plan, which resulted in an expense of $1.1 million , which we included in other charges. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we paid this amount and have settled the liability to the multi-employer pension plan. As a result, at September 30, 2019, our only remaining defined benefit plan is our U.S. Pension Plan (“Plan”). We did not contribute to the Plan in 2018 or 2019 and do not anticipate contributing to the Plan in 2020. During March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07 (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 required us to exclude from operating income the components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on October 1, 2017, and this adoption required reclassification of pension costs other than service in the 2017 results. The components of net periodic benefit cost for our Pension Plans are presented below. 2019 2018 2017 (in millions) Service cost $ 1.6 $ 1.8 $ 2.0 Components of net periodic benefit cost excluded from operating income following adoption of ASU 2017-07: Interest cost 13.9 14.3 14.3 Expected return on plan assets (16.2 ) (16.5 ) (16.9 ) Amortization of actuarial net loss 1.9 3.2 4.0 Pension settlement 0.7 — — Other 0.1 — — Pension costs other than service 0.4 1.0 1.4 Net periodic benefit cost $ 2.0 $ 2.8 $ 3.4 Balance sheet information for Pension Plans with a net liability funded status is presented below.

Balance at beginning of year $ 66.0 Actuarial gain 15.9 Prior year actuarial loss amortization to net periodic cost (3.5 ) Balance at end of year $ 78.4 We amortize amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss representing unrecognized prior year service cost and unrecognized loss related to the Pension Plans over the weighted average life expectancy of their inactive participants. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach. The gain/loss corridor is equal to ten percent of the greater of the benefit obligation and the market-related value of assets. Gains and losses in excess of the corridor are generally amortized over the average remaining lifetime of the plan participants. We expect to amortize $2.8 million of unrecognized loss into net periodic benefit cost from accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2020 . A summary of key assumptions for our Pension Plans is below. 2019 2018 2017 Weighted average used to determine benefit obligations: Discount rate 3.26 % 4.37 % 3.88 % Weighted average used to determine net periodic cost: Discount rate 4.37 % 3.88 % 3.68 % Expected return on plan assets 4.93 % 4.68 % 5.16 % Amounts recognized for Pension Plans are presented below. 2019 2018 (in millions) Projected benefit obligations: Beginning of year $ 333.4 $ 380.5 Service cost 1.6 1.8 Interest cost 13.9 14.3 Actuarial gain 38.2 (38.6 ) Benefits paid (23.9 ) (24.3 ) Currency translation (0.1 ) (0.3 ) Decrease in obligation due to curtailment / settlement (6.5 ) — End of year $ 356.6 $ 333.4 Accumulated benefit obligations at end of year $ 356.6 $ 333.4 Plan assets: Beginning of year $ 343.5 $ 366.3 Actual return on plan assets 38.6 2.0 Employer contributions 0.6 — Currency translation (0.5 ) (0.3 ) Benefits paid (23.9 ) (24.3 ) Settlements (6.5 ) — Other (0.2 ) (0.2 ) End of year $ 351.6 $ 343.5 Accrued benefit cost at end of year: Funded (unfunded) status $ (5.0 ) $ 10.1 Recognized on balance sheet: Other noncurrent assets $ — $ 11.2 Other current liabilities — (1.1 ) Other noncurrent liabilities (5.0 ) — $ (5.0 ) $ 10.1 Recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, before tax: Prior year service cost $ — $ — Net actuarial loss 78.4 66.0 $ 78.4 $ 66.0 The discount rates for determining the present value of pension obligations were selected using a “bond settlement” approach, which constructs a hypothetical bond portfolio that could be purchased such that the coupon payments and maturity values could be used to satisfy the projected benefit payments. The discount rate is the equivalent rate that results in the present value of the projected benefit payments equaling the market value of this bond portfolio. Only high quality (AA graded or higher), non-callable corporate bonds are included in this bond portfolio. We rely on the Pension Plans’ actuaries to assist in the development of the discount rate model. The expected returns on plan assets were determined with the assistance of the Pension Plans’ actuaries and investment consultants. Expected returns on plan assets were developed using forward looking returns over a time horizon of 10 to 15 years for major asset classes along with projected risk and historical correlations. We maintain a single trust that holds the assets of the Plan. Near the end of 2017, we directed our investment manager to adjust the asset allocation from about 30% equity investments to about 20% equity investments. This trust’s strategic asset allocations, tactical range at September 30, 2019 and actual asset allocations are presented below. Strategic asset allocation Actual asset allocations at September 30, Tactical range 2019 2018 2017 Fixed income investments 80 % 75 80 % 79 % 77 % 78 % Equity investments 20 15 - 20 % 19 21 21 Cash — 0 - 5 % 2 2 1 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % Assets of the Plan are allocated to various investments to attain diversification and reasonable risk-adjusted returns while also managing the exposure to asset and liability volatility. These ranges are targets and deviations may occur from time to time due to market fluctuations. Portfolio assets are typically rebalanced to the allocation targets at least annually. The assets of the Plan are primarily invested in investment trusts valued at net asset value, which in turn hold fixed income and equity investments. The valuation methodologies used to measure the assets of the Plan at fair value are: • Fixed income fund investments held by the investment trusts are valued using the closing price reported in the active market in which the investment is traded or based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings; • Equity investments held by the investment trusts are valued using the closing price reported on the active market when reliable market quotations are readily available. When market quotations are not readily available, these assets are valued by a method the trustees believe accurately reflects fair value; and • Mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported on the active market. The assets of the Plan by level within the fair value hierarchy are presented below.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] | Stock-based Compensation Plans The effect of stock-based compensation on our statements of operations, including discontinued operations, is presented below. 2019 2018 2017 (in millions, except per share data) Decrease in operating income $ 5.5 $ 6.4 $ 8.6 Decrease in net income 4.0 4.0 4.8 Decrease in earnings per basic share 0.03 0.03 0.03 Decrease in earnings per diluted share 0.03 0.03 0.03 We excluded 106,896 , 214,435 and 238,826 instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively, because the effect of including them would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2019 , there was approximately $5.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based awards not yet vested. We expect to recognize this expense over a weighted average life of approximately 1.47 years. The Mueller Water Products, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) authorizes an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of common stock that may be granted through the issuance of stock-based awards. Any awards canceled are available for reissuance. Generally, all of our employees and members of our board of directors are eligible to participate in the 2006 Plan. At September 30, 2019 , 7,022,737 shares of common stock were available for future grants of awards under the 2006 Plan. This total assumes that the maximum number of shares will be earned for awards for which the final number of shares to be earned has not yet been determined. An award granted under the 2006 Plan vests at such times and in such installments as set by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the board of directors (“Comp. Committee”), but no award will be exercisable after the 10 -year anniversary of the date on which it is granted. Management expects some instruments will be forfeited prior to vesting. Grants to members of our board of the directors are expected to vest fully. Based on historical forfeitures, we expect grants to others to be forfeited at an annual rate of 2% . Restricted Stock Units. Depending on the specific terms of each award, restricted stock units generally vest ratably over the life of the award, usually 3 years, on each anniversary date of the original grant. Compensation expense for restricted stock units is recognized between the grant date and the vesting date (or the date on which a participant becomes Retirement-eligible, if sooner) on a straight-line basis for each tranche of each award. Fair values of restricted stock units are determined using the closing price of our common stock on the respective dates of grant. Restricted stock unit activity under the 2006 Plan is summarized below. Restricted stock units Weighted average grant date fair value per unit Weighted average remaining contractual term (years) Aggregate intrinsic value (millions) Outstanding at September 30, 2016 663,448 $ 9.34 1.0 Granted 343,860 13.05 Vested (359,797 ) 9.34 $ 4.7 Cancelled (21,681 ) 13.26 Outstanding at September 30, 2017 625,830 11.23 0.9 Granted 276,658 12.20 Vested (342,038 ) 10.84 4.2 Cancelled (78,888 ) 11.41 Outstanding at September 30, 2018 481,562 12.14 1.0 Granted 233,830 10.10 Vested (259,107 ) 11.75 2.6 Cancelled (19,263 ) 11.43 Outstanding at September 30, 2019 437,022 11.31 0.9 Performance Shares. Performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) represent a target number of units that may be paid out at the end of a multi-year award cycle consisting of annual performance periods coinciding with our fiscal years. As determined at the date of award, PRSUs may settle in cash-value equivalent of, or directly in, shares of our common stock. Settlement will range from zero to two times the number of PRSUs granted, depending on our financial performance against predetermined targets. The Comp. Committee establishes performance goals within 90 days of the beginning of each performance period, with such date referred to as the “grant date”. At the end of each annual performance period, the Comp. Committee confirms performance against the applicable performance targets. PRSUs do not convey voting rights or earn dividends. PRSUs vest on the last day of an award cycle, unless vested sooner due to a “Change of Control” of the Company, or the death, disability or Retirement of a participant. We recognize compensation expense for stock-settled PRSUs starting on the first day of the applicable performance period and ending on the respective vesting dates. We base the recognized compensation expense upon the number of units awarded for each performance period, the closing price of our common stock on the grant date and the estimated performance factor. In 2019 and 2018, 332,875 shares and 146,061 shares, respectively, vested related to PRSUs. Stock-settled PRSUs activity under the 2006 Plan is summarized below.

Stock options generally vest ratably over 3 years on each anniversary date of the original grant. Stock options granted since November 2007 also vest upon the Retirement of a participant. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized between the grant date and the vesting date (or the date on which a participant becomes Retirement-eligible, if sooner) on a straight-line basis for each tranche of each award. No stock options were granted since 2015. Stock option activity under the 2006 Plan is summarized below.

The Mueller Water Products, Inc. 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) authorizes the sale of up to 5,800,000 shares of our common stock to employees. Generally, all full-time, active employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP, subject to certain restrictions. Employee purchases are funded through payroll deductions, and any excess payroll withholdings are returned to the employee. The price for shares purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the lower of the closing price on the first day or the last day of the offering period. At September 30, 2019 , 2,583,129 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP. Phantom Plan. Under the Mueller Water Products, Inc. Phantom Plan adopted in 2012 (“Phantom Plan”), we have awarded “phantom units” to certain non-officer employees. A phantom unit settles in cash equal to the price of one share of our common stock on the vesting date. Phantom units vest ratably over 3 years on each anniversary date of the original grant. We recognize compensation expense for phantom units on a straight-line basis for each tranche of each award based on the closing price of our common stock at each balance sheet date. The outstanding phantom units had a fair value of $11.24 per unit at September 30, 2019 and our accrued liability for such units was $1.8 million . Phantom Plan activity is summarized below.

Supplemental Income Statement Elements [Abstract] | |
Statement of Operations, Supplemental Disclosures [Text Block] | Supplemental Statement of Operations Information On September 7, 2017, we announced a strategic reorganization plan designed to accelerate our product innovation and revenue growth. We have adopted a matrix management structure, where business teams have line and cross-functional responsibility for managing distinct product portfolios. Engineering, operations, sales and marketing and other functions were centralized to better align with business needs and generate greater efficiencies. We recorded $4.6 million in other charges primarily for severance related to this strategic reorganization plan in 2018 and consider this plan to be complete at September 30, 2019. In October 2018, we announced the move of our Middleborough, Massachusetts research and development facility to Atlanta to consolidate our resources and accelerate product innovation through creation of a research and development center of excellence for software and electronics. Expenses incurred for these plans were primarily personnel-related and included in other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded $4.3 million related to this strategic reorganization plan in 2019, and a $0.7 million accrual remains as of September 30, 2019. On February 15, 2019, we experienced a mass shooting tragedy at our Henry Pratt facility in Aurora, Illinois. The event resulted in the death of five employees and injuries to one employee and six law enforcement officials. For the year ended September 30, 2019 , we incurred $5.1 million in expenses related to this tragedy, which are included in other charges, and a $0.9 million accrual remains as of September 30, 2019. These amounts are net of anticipated insurance recoveries.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Segment Information Our operations consist of two reportable segments: Infrastructure and Technologies. These segments are organized primarily based on products sold and customers served and are consistent with how the segments are managed, how resources are allocated and how information is used by the chief operating decision maker. Infrastructure manufactures valves for water and gas systems including butterfly, iron gate, tapping, check, knife, plug, automatic control and ball valves and dry-barrel and wet-barrel fire hydrants and pipe repair products. Technologies offers metering, leak detection, pipe condition assessment and other products and services for the water infrastructure industry. Segment results are not reflective of their results on a stand-alone basis. Intersegment sales and transfers are made at selling prices generally intended to cover costs. Infrastructure personnel provide certain administrative services, including management of accounts payable and accounts receivable, without any allocation of cost to Technologies. We do not believe the costs of such administrative services are material to the segments’ results. The determination of segment results excludes certain expenses designated as Corporate because they are not directly attributable to segment operations. Interest expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. Corporate expenses include those costs incurred by our corporate function, such as accounting, treasury, risk management, human resources, legal, tax and other administrative functions and also costs associated with assets and liabilities retained following the sales of U.S. Pipe and Anvil. Corporate assets principally consist of our cash and certain real property previously owned by U.S. Pipe and Anvil.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies We are involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of operations, including the proceedings summarized below. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our financial statements cannot be predicted with certainty as any such effect depends on the amount and timing of the resolution of such matters and potential insurance coverage. Other than the litigation described below, we do not believe that any of our outstanding litigation would have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects. Environmental. We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment, both with respect to the operations at many of our properties and with respect to remediating environmental conditions that may exist at our own or other properties. We accrue for environmental expenses resulting from existing conditions that relate to past operations when the costs are probable and reasonably estimable. In the acquisition agreement pursuant to which a predecessor to Tyco sold our businesses to a previous owner in August 1999, Tyco agreed to indemnify us and our affiliates, among other things, for all “Excluded Liabilities.” Excluded Liabilities include, among other things, substantially all liabilities relating to the time prior to August 1999, including environmental liabilities. The indemnity survives indefinitely. Tyco’s indemnity does not cover liabilities to the extent caused by us or the operation of our businesses after August 1999, nor does it cover liabilities arising with respect to businesses or sites acquired after August 1999. Since 2007, Tyco has engaged in multiple corporate restructurings, split-offs and divestitures. While none of these transactions directly affects the indemnification obligations of the Tyco indemnitors under the 1999 acquisition agreement, the result of such transactions is that the assets of, and control over, such Tyco indemnitors has changed. Should any of these Tyco indemnitors become financially unable or fail to comply with the terms of the indemnity, we may be responsible for such obligations or liabilities. On July 13, 2010, Rohcan Investments Limited, the former owner of property leased by Mueller Canada Ltd. and located in Milton, Ontario, filed suit against Mueller Canada Ltd. and its directors seeking C$10.0 million in damages arising from the defendants’ alleged environmental contamination of the property and breach of lease. Mueller Canada Ltd. leased the property from 1988 through 2008. We are pursuing indemnification from a former owner for certain potential liabilities that are alleged in this lawsuit, and we have accrued for other liabilities not covered by indemnification. On December 7, 2011, the Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. The purchaser of U.S. Pipe has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) in connection with a former manufacturing facility operated by U.S. Pipe that was in the vicinity of a proposed Superfund site located in North Birmingham, Alabama. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement relating to our sale of U.S. Pipe, we agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain environmental liabilities, including those arising out of the former manufacturing site in North Birmingham. Accordingly, the purchaser tendered the matter to us for indemnification, which we accepted. Ultimate liability for the site will depend on many factors that have not yet been determined, including the determination of EPA’s remediation costs, the number and financial viability of the other PRPs (there are four other PRPs currently) and the determination of the final allocation of the costs among the PRPs. Accordingly, because the amount of such costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, no amounts had been accrued for this matter at September 30, 2019 . Walter Energy . We were a member of the Walter Energy federal tax consolidated group, through December 14, 2006, at which time the company was spun-off from Walter Industries. Until our spin-off from Walter Energy, we joined in the filing of the Walter Energy consolidated federal income tax return for each taxable year during which we were a member of the consolidated group. As a result, we are jointly and severally liable for the federal income tax liability, if any, of the consolidated group for each of those years. Accordingly, we could be liable in the event any such federal income tax liability is incurred, and not discharged, by any other member of the Walter Energy tax consolidated group for any period during which we were included in the Walter Energy tax consolidated group. In July 2015, Walter Energy filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Northern District of Alabama (“Chapter 11 Case”). On February 2, 2017, the Chapter 11 Case was converted to a liquidation proceeding under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which Walter Energy is now in the process of being wound down and liquidated. The IRS had alleged that Walter Energy owed substantial amounts for prior taxable periods in which we were a member of the Walter Energy tax consolidated group (specifically, 1983-1994, 2000-2002 and 2005). On January 11, 2016, the IRS filed a proof of claim in the Chapter 11 Case, alleging that Walter Energy owed taxes,interest and penalties for the years 1983-1994, 2000-2002 and 2005 in an aggregate amount of $554.3 million ( $229.1 million of which the IRS claimed was entitled to priority status in the Chapter 11 Case). The IRS asserted that its claim was based on an alleged settlement of Walter Energy’s tax liability for years 1983 through 1994, which Walter Energy disputed. In the proof of claim, the IRS included an alternative calculation in an aggregate amount of $860.4 million , which it asserted would be appropriate in the event the alleged settlement were determined to be non-binding ( $535.3 million of which the IRS claimed was entitled to priority status in the Chapter 11 Case). The IRS had indicated its intent to pursue collection of amounts included in the proofs of claim from former members of the Walter Energy tax consolidated group. We have been working constructively with the parties involved in this matter in an effort to reach a consensual resolution with respect to the Walter Tax Liability. On November 5, 2019, we acknowledged and agreed to be bound by a settlement agreement between the bankruptcy trustee in the Walter Bankruptcy Case and the Internal Revenue Service to resolve the Walter Tax Liability. On November 18, 2019, the settlement agreement was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Alabama which is responsible for the Walter Bankruptcy Case. The approval was made over the objection of a third party and is subject to appeal and/or a motion for reconsideration, the outcome of which cannot be predicted. Should the approval order become effective, under the terms of the settlement agreement, we would contribute approximately $22 million to the settlement, plus interest through the payment date, with another former Walter Energy subsidiary agreeing to contribute approximately $17 million to the settlement. At September 30, 2019, we had accrued a current liability of $22 million . No assurances as to the timing or outcome of any appeal or motion to reconsider the approval order can be made; however, we expect our liabilities with respect to the Walter Tax Liability will be fully resolved should the order become effective and we make the required contributions. Chapman v. Mueller Water Products, et al. In 2017, our warranty analyses identified that certain Technologies radio products produced prior to 2017 and installed in particularly harsh environments had been failing at higher than expected rates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we conducted additional testing of these products and revised our estimates of warranty expenses. As a result, we recorded additional warranty expense of $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we completed a similar analysis and determined, based on this new information, that certain other Technologies products had been failing at higher-than-expected rates as well and that the average cost to repair or replace certain products under warranty was higher than previously estimated. As a result, in the third quarter of 2018, we recorded additional warranty expense of $14.1 million associated with such products. Related to the above warranty expenses, on April 11, 2019, an alleged stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit against Mueller Water Products, Inc. and certain of our former and current officers (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The proposed class consists of all persons and entities that acquired our securities between May 9, 2016 and August 6, 2018 (the “Class Period”). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws, including, among other things, that we made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about our business, operations, and prospects during the proposed Class Period. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs but does not specify the amount. Accordingly, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any cost or liabilities related to this matter, and therefore no amounts have been accrued related to this matter as of September 30, 2019. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss on November 1, 2019. We believe the allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the claims. However, the outcome of this legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty. Mass Shooting Event at our Henry Pratt Facility in Aurora, Illinois. On February 15, 2019, we experienced a mass shooting event at our Henry Pratt facility in Aurora, Illinois, in which five employees were killed and one employee and six law enforcement officers were injured. Various workers’ compensation claims arising from the event have been made to date, and we anticipate that additional claims may be made, and that liability under such claims, if any, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows. However, the possibility of other legal proceedings, and any related effects, arising from this event cannot be predicted with certainty. Indemnifications . We are a party to contracts in which it is common for us to agree to indemnify third parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the contract. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct. We cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments under these indemnities until events arise that would trigger a liability under the indemnities. Additionally, in connection with the sale of assets and the divestiture of businesses, such as the divestitures of U.S. Pipe and Anvil, we may agree to indemnify buyers and related parties for certain losses or liabilities incurred by these parties with respect to: (i) the representations and warranties made by us to these parties in connection with the sale and (ii) liabilities related to the pre-closing operations of the assets or business sold. Indemnities related to pre-closing operations generally include certain environmental and tax liabilities and other liabilities not assumed by these parties in the transaction. Indemnities related to the pre-closing operations of sold assets or businesses normally do not represent additional liabilities to us, but simply serve to protect these parties from potential liability associated with our obligations existing at the time of the sale. As with any liability, we have accrued for those pre-closing obligations that are considered probable and reasonably estimable. Should circumstances change, increasing the likelihood of payments related to a specific indemnity, we will accrue a liability when future payment is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Other Matters. We monitor and analyze our warranty experience and costs periodically and may revise our warranty reserves as necessary. Critical factors in our reserve analyses include warranty terms, specific claim situations, incurred and projected failure rates, the nature of product failures, product and labor costs, and general business conditions. We are party to a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability cases for products manufactured by us or third parties. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such other litigation is not likely to have a materially adverse effect on our business or prospects. Operating Leases. We maintain operating leases primarily for equipment and facilities. Rent expense was $5.8 million , $6.4 million and $5.8 million for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating leases are $6.1 million , $5.1 million , $4.2 million , $3.8 million and $3.7 million during 2020 , 2021 , 2022 , 2023 and 2024 , respectively. Total minimum payments due beyond 2024 are $15.8 million . |

Sep. 30, 2019 | Sep. 30, 2018 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition - See Note 3. for more information regarding our revenues. | |
Share-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation- Compensation expense for stock-based awards granted to employees and directors is based on the fair value at the grant dates for our stock-settled share awards and is based on the fair value at each reporting date for our cash-settled share awards. See Note 11. for more information regarding our stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents- All highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of 90 days or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents. Where there is no right of offset against cash balances, outstanding checks are included in accounts payable. | |
Receivables | Receivables- Receivables are amounts due from customers. To reduce credit risk, credit investigations are generally performed prior to accepting orders from new customers and, when necessary, letters of credit, bonds or other instruments are required to ensure payment. We present trade receivables net of an allowance for credit losses. Our consolidated statements of operations reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized trade receivables, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. When we determine a specific trade receivable will not be collected, we charge off the uncollectible amount against the allowance. Our periodic evaluations of expected credit losses are based upon our judgments regarding prior collection experience, specific customer creditworthiness, other current conditions, and forecasts of current economic trends within the industries served that may affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Significantly weaker than anticipated industry or economic conditions could impact customers’ ability to pay such that actual credit losses may be greater than the amounts provided for in this allowance. During 2016, FASB issued standard ASC 326 - Current Expected Credit Losses to replace the previous GAAP “incurred loss” impairment approach with an approach intended to reflect “expected credit losses,” which will require consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for receivables. The standard will be adopted upon the effective date for us beginning October 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems. | |
Inventory Supplies, Policy | Other Current Assets- Other current assets include maintenance supplies and tooling costs. Costs for perishable tools and maintenance items are expensed when put into service. Costs for more durable items are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 10 | |
Inventories | Inventories- Inventories are recorded at the lower of first-in, first-out method cost or estimated net realizable value. We evaluate our inventory in terms of excess and obsolete exposures. This evaluation includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels and ultimate product sales value. Inventory cost includes an overhead component that is affected by levels of production and actual costs incurred. We periodically evaluate the effects of production levels and costs capitalized as part of inventory. | |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment- Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are 10 to 20 years for land improvements, 10 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in operating results in the period of disposition. Direct internal and external costs to implement computer systems and internal-use software are capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the system or software, generally 6 years, beginning when site installation or module development is complete and ready for use. Liabilities are recognized at fair value for asset retirement obligations related to plant and landfill closures in the period in which they are reasonably estimable and the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets are correspondingly increased. Over time, the liabilities are accreted to their estimated future values. At September 30, 2019 and 2018 , asset retirement obligations were $4.5 million and $4.1 million , respectively. Leases- During 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 Leases , which will require us to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases currently referred to as operating leases. This Update is effective for 2020 and requires the modified retrospective application and adoption of the requirement. We will adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective transition method beginning in the first quarter of 2020. We expect to record operating lease “right-of-use” assets and related lease liabilities of approximately $30.0 million each. | |
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets- We test indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for impairment annually (or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.) We perform our annual impairment testing at September 1. We amortize finite-lived intangible assets over their respective estimated useful lives and review for impairment if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. | |
Workers Compensation | Workers Compensation- Our exposure to workers compensation claims is generally limited to $1 million per incident. Liabilities, including those related to claims incurred but not reported, are recorded principally using annual valuations based on discounted future expected payments and using historical data combined with insurance industry data when historical data is limited. We are indemnified under an agreement with a predecessor to Tyco for all Mueller Co. and Anvil workers compensation liabilities related to incidents that occurred prior to August 16, 1999. See Note 17. We retained U.S. Pipe workers compensation liabilities related to incidents that occurred prior to the segment’s April 1, 2012 sale date, but the purchaser agreed to reimburse us for up to $11.8 million in payments we make related to these liabilities. At September 30, 2019 , the remaining discounted reimbursement receivable may be up to $3.4 million , which we have recorded as $0.4 million in other current assets and $3.0 million in other noncurrent assets. On an undiscounted basis, workers compensation liabilities were $8.7 million and $9.1 million at September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. On a discounted basis, workers compensation liabilities were $7.6 million and $7.7 million at September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. | |
Warranty Costs | Warranty Costs- We accrue for warranty expenses, which can include costs of repair and/or replacement, including labor, materials, equipment, freight and reasonable overhead costs. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of sale if such costs are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable at that time. We monitor and analyze our warranty experience and costs periodically and may revise our warranty reserves as necessary. Critical factors in our reserve analyses include warranty terms, specific claim situations, general incurred and projected failure rates, the nature of product failures, product and labor costs, and general business conditions. As discussed in Note 17. , we recognized $14.1 million and $9.8 million of Technologies’ warranty expense during the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, related to certain radios and other products sold in prior periods. | |
Deferred Financing Fees | Deferred Financing Costs- Costs of debt financing are charged to expense over the lives of the related financing agreements. Remaining costs and the future period over which they would be charged to expense are reassessed when amendments to the related financing agreements or prepayments occur. ABL Agreement deferred financing costs are included in other noncurrent assets and other deferred financing costs are offset against long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs of $6.3 million at September 30, 2019 are scheduled to amortize as follows: $0.5 million related to the ABL Agreement amortizes on a straight-line basis; $5.8 million related to the Senior Unsecured Notes amortizes using the effective-interest rate method. All such amortization will be over the remaining term of the respective debt. See Note 7. | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- We managed interest rate risk to some extent using derivative instruments. We had designated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of interest payments. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these contracts prior to settlement were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and were reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. We recorded a cash gain of $2.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 upon termination of the interest rate swaps. We manage U.S. dollar - Canadian dollar exchange rate risk related to an intercompany loan with swap contracts, which we have not designated as hedges. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported currently in earnings. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes- Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Such liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We only record tax benefits for positions that management believes are more likely than not of being sustained under audit based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. The amount of tax benefit recognized for any position that meets the more likely than not threshold is the largest amount of the tax benefit that we believe is greater than 50% likely of being realized. On December 22, 2017, HR-1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”), was enacted, which made significant revisions to federal income tax laws, including lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% effective January 1, 2018, overhauling the taxation of income earned outside the United States and eliminating or limiting certain deductions. The Act subjects us to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Act states that we can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. In September 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2018-02 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits, but does not require, companies to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings any “stranded tax effects” caused by the Act. We have elected to not make such a reclassification. | |
Environmental Expenditures | Environmental Expenditures- We capitalize environmental expenditures that increase the life or efficiency of noncurrent assets or that reduce or prevent environmental contamination. We accrue for environmental expenses resulting from existing conditions that relate to past operations when the costs are probable and reasonably estimable. We are indemnified under an agreement with a predecessor to Tyco for certain environmental liabilities that existed at August 16, 1999. See Note 17. | |
Research and Development | Research and Development- Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. | |
Advertising | Advertising- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. | |
Translation of Foreign Currency | Translation of Foreign Currency- Assets and liabilities of our businesses whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average currency exchange rates during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings as incurred. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||
Organization | Organization Mueller Water Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, operates in two business segments: Infrastructure and Technologies. Infrastructure (previously referred to as “Mueller Co.”) manufactures valves for water and gas systems, including butterfly, iron gate, tapping, check, knife, plug, automatic control and ball valves, as well as dry-barrel and wet-barrel fire hydrants and pipe repair products. Technologies (previously referred to as “Mueller Technologies”) offers metering systems, leak detection, pipe condition assessment and other products and services for the water infrastructure industry. The “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Mueller Water Products, Inc. and its subsidiaries. With regard to the Company’s segments, “we,” “us” or “our” may also refer to the segment being discussed. In July 2014 , Infrastructure acquired a 49% ownership in an industrial valve joint-venture for $1.7 million . Due to substantive control features in the joint-venture agreement, all of the joint venture’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements. We included an adjustment for the income attributable to noncontrolling interest in selling, general and administrative expenses. Noncontrolling interest is recorded at its carrying value, which approximates fair value. As described in Note 18. , Infrastructure acquired the noncontrolling interest on October 3, 2019. On December 3, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Krausz Development Ltd. and subsidiaries (“Krausz”). We include the financial statements of Krausz in our consolidated financial statements on a one-month lag. Refer to Note 4 for additional disclosures related to the acquisition. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, whenever we refer to a particular year, we mean our fiscal year ended or ending September 30 in that particular calendar year. | ||
