Current Bill Summary

SB 763 - Under existing law, a residential property owner must not be charged a stormwater fee from the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District if the property owner does not receive sanitary sewer service from the district and if stormwater from the property does not drain to a sewer maintained by the district. The act adds criteria for when stormwater is considered to drain to a sewer maintained by the district: if it drains to a pipe or improved waterway within 50 feet of the property line, or if the stormwater is carried to a pipe or improved waterway via a street, sidewalk, or concrete swale.
