DESCRIPTION
This bill increases the voter-approved fee that may be charged for the repair of lateral sewer service lines on residential property having six or less dwelling units in St, Charles County, St. Louis County, and St. Louis City from $28 to $50. Currently, the assessment of the fee is quarterly; the bill allows for the annual assessment of the fee.
The bill also requires any municipality that establishes or increases the fee to include all defective portions of the lateral sewer service line from the residence to the public sewer line in the repair program.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
