Current Bill Summary

SB 795 - This act modifies the amount of time for which an owner is liable for an occupant's delinquent sewer or water bill in St. Louis City.

Currently, until January 1, 2007, a St. Louis City property owner is only liable for an occupant's delinquent water or sewer bill for up to 120 days of service. After January 1, 2007, the property owner is only liable for up to 90 days of service.

Under this act, a St. Louis City property owner remains liable for up to 120 days of service when the occupant's bill is delinquent, but the number of days for which the owner is liable does not decrease on January 1, 2007.
