Fiscal Year 2017 BUDGET
May 12, 2016
Board of Trustees
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
2350 Market Street
St. Louis, MO 63103
Dear Trustees:
The mission of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD)
is to protect the public’s health and safety, and the region’s
water environment, by responsibly providing wastewater and
stormwater management. In fulfilling our mission, we focus on
delivering sound fiscal management and fostering a business-
focused culture throughout the organization.
As we continue to build upon our progress over the past
several years, in fiscal year (FY) 2017, we will remain focused
on several key areas of overall operations, while being fiscally
responsive to the needs of the St. Louis region:
STRATEGIC BUSINESS AND OPERATING PLAN – MSD’s
management is committed to running this utility like a
business. A key aspect of this effort is MSD’s Strategic
Business and Operating Plan (SBOP). The FY 2017 SBOP is
a business-focused blueprint for serving our customers now
and into the future. It is a plan that puts the customers and the
St. Louis community first. The SBOP goals are clear:
• Deliver consistent, high quality customer service;
• Comply with all legal and regulatory requirements and
schedules;
• Minimize customer rate increases;
• Be accountable to the St. Louis community
The SBOP is tied to the budgeting process to ensure that
initiatives are properly funded. Each department prepares a
base budget that covers funding for its day-to-day operations,
and an incremental budget for strategic activities that are to be
implemented throughout the budget year. A detailed budget
review process ensures an in-depth review of all budgetary
requests. If fiscal constraints require reduced funding, the
costs of strategic objectives are identified so that proper
decisions can be made.
BUDGET SUMMARY – As the Executive Director of MSD, I
affirm that rates and charges as currently implemented will
generate sufficient revenues to meet all expenditures as
proposed in the FY 2017 budget, providing adequate operating
liquidity as directed in MSD's Debt Management Policy.
Furthermore, current rates and charges are adequate to
ensure MSD’s compliance with all obligations as provided in
the Master Bond Ordinance, adopted by the Trustees on April
22, 2004.
The proposed FY 2017 operating budget includes $196.6
million for day-to-day operations, reflecting a $13.2 million or
6% decrease over the FY 2016 budget. The total District
budget for FY 2017 is $673.9 million. Included in the new
budget is an increase of eighteen Full Time Employees.
Proposed expenditures for the FY 2017 are summarized as
follows:
Operating $196.6 million
CIRP 378.5 million
Debt Service 98.8 million
TOTAL EXPENSE BUDGET $673.9 million
1
Versus costs presented to and approved by the Rate
Commission, the Operating budget for FY 2017 is projected to
be 1.9% less than originally planned; and the CIRP budget for
FY 2017 is projected to be 4.5% more than originally planned.
WASTEWATER PROJECTS – The primary focus of MSD’s
mission is the execution of the Capital Improvement and
Replacement Program (CIRP). The long-term goals of the
CIRP are to protect the health and safety of our St. Louis
community through the renewal and improvement of MSD’s
existing wastewater collection and treatment capabilities. Each
year moves us closer to our goals for this important program.
In FY 2017, MSD plans 172 new or continuing wastewater
projects, located throughout MSD’s service area, totaling
$354.3 million. These projects are funded primarily from the
Sanitary Replacement Fund, and represent $20.5 million in
continued projects and $333.8 million in new projects.
PHASE II STORMWATER PERMIT – The Missouri
Department of Natural Resources has issued a Phase II
Stormwater permit to MSD, St. Louis County, and 58 county
municipalities. Under the provisions of this permit, MSD is the
St. Louis Coordinating Authority for our separate municipal
stormwater sewer system. St. Louis County and the
municipalities are co-permittees.
Per the Phase II Storm Water Management Plan, MSD has
again committed significant resources to this important effort.
Not only does this work help us meet MSD’s legal obligations
as a stormwater permit holder and as the St. Louis
Coordinating Authority, but it significantly reduces the overall
compliance burden incurred by our co-permittees. Such an
approach allows for a comprehensive and meaningful direction
to our community’s Phase II Stormwater efforts.
STORMWATER PROJECTS - In FY 2017, MSD tentatively
plans 40 stormwater projects, including continuing projects
from FY 2016, totaling $24.2 million.
RATE COMMISSION – Composed of 15 member
organizations representing a broad cross-section of MSD’s
customers and the community it serves, the Rate Commission
is designed to provide public input into how rates are set. The
rate cycle covers FY 2017 – FY2020
The Rate Commission submitted a Recommendation to the
MSD Board of Trustees on August 13, 2015. The
recommendation includes a rate increase for wastewater,
either with additional bonding or without, and a change in how
stormwater is funded. The stormwater proposal would address
years of unequal service across the MSD service area.
BALLOT INITIATIVES – On April 5, 2016, 76% of voters in
the MSD service area approved Proposition Y, approving the
future issuance of an additional $900 million in bonds to fund
$1.5 billion in wastewater projects from July 1, 2016, through
June 30, 2020.
Sixty two percent of voters also approved Proposition S,
equalizing stormwater funding within our service area. With the
passage of Proposition S, we will rollback and eliminate
several of the taxes; eliminate the stormwater fee (effective
July 1, 2016—start of fiscal year 2017); and, in lieu of these
funding mechanisms, institute or leave in place two taxing
districts that cover our entire service area.
PROJECT CLEAR – In 2007, the State of Missouri and the
United States Environmental Protection Agency filed a lawsuit
against MSD regarding overflows. The Missouri Coalition for
the Environment later joined the lawsuit as an intervener.
Throughout MSD’s service area, there are hundreds of points
where a combination of rainwater and wastewater discharges
into local waterways from the sewer system during moderate
2
to heavy rainstorms. These sewer overflow points act as relief
valves when too much rainwater enters the sewer system, and
without them, communities could experience thousands of
basement backups and/or extensive street flooding.
In April 2012, the United States Federal Court approved an
agreement known as a Consent Decree bringing the lawsuit to
a close. The agreement calls for $4.7 billion in improvements
to the wastewater system over the next two decades. The FY
2017 budget continues MSD’s ongoing execution of the
Consent Decree.
Knowing that robust and simplified communications would be
critical to the success of the Consent Decree, MSD launched
Project Clear. Project Clear is the name MSD has given to all
Consent Decree activities and resulting communications with
stakeholders. Therefore, Project Clear is MSD’s $4.7 billion,
multi-decade initiative to plan, design, and build system-wide
improvements to address water quality and alleviate many
wastewater concerns in the St. Louis region. Project Clear will
focus on system-wide improvements across the St. Louis area
to get the rain out, repair and maintain, and build system
improvements. Projects range in scale from massive
underground tunnels to carry the volume of stormwater
needed in a growing region with more paved surfaces, to the
disconnection of residential downspouts from the sanitary
sewer line, and rainscaping improvements to manage
stormwater as close as possible to where it falls.
RAINSCAPING/ GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE – As part of
Project Clear, $100 million will be allocated to implement a
rainscaping (green infrastructure) program that includes a five-
year, $3 million pilot program meant to help understand the
regulatory, logistical, financial, and educational challenges that
will need to be managed as green infrastructure is utilized to
address sewer overflows. The program includes an agreement
between MSD and the City of St. Louis’ Land Reutilization
Authority (LRA) for the use of LRA owned property. The EPA
has also approved to date more than $18 million in additional
funding for Early Action projects and the Small Grants
Rainscaping Program.
On December 31, 2015, MSD submitted a plan to the EPA that
lays out how MSD proposes to complete the $100 million in
rainscaping improvements. This proposal includes up to $13.5
million to demolish hundreds of abandoned, structurally-
condemned buildings that present a threat to public health and
safety in the City of St. Louis.
DIVERSITY – MSD has had a well-recognized diversity
program in place for several years, marked by its success in
helping build minority and women owned businesses in our St.
Louis community. Minority/Women Business Enterprise
(MWBE) firms have had extensive participation in MSD's
Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (CIRP). In
FY 2015, MWBE participation in construction projects was
21.94%; MWBE participation in professional services projects
was 45.66%; and MWBE participation in other capital vendor
services was 45.51%. On active MSD projects in FY 2015, the
minority workforce participation was 25.9% and 3.7% women.
As evidenced by these numbers, MWBE participation in the
CIRP is an important part of our diversity efforts. In addition,
MWBE participation in general purchasing transactions was
18.27%. These expenditures resulted in a cumulative MWBE
utilization percentage of 32.95%.
Affirmative Action Program (AAP) – An AAP is an internal
program implemented to establish guidelines for recruiting and
selection processes to promote and maintain a fair and equal
workforce within MSD. In November, 2014 an extensive
review of the program was conducted to examine the existing
hiring processes and to determine if adjustments need to be
made to prevent potential discrimination or adverse impact
against women and minorities.
3
As MSD continues the important work we are doing to protect
our environment, we will continue our efforts to ensure MSD
staff and our service providers are reflective of the diverse
community we serve. The signed Community Benefits
Agreement (CBA), a formal agreement between MSD and
community organizations that establishes a framework for
addressing issues in workforce training, business
development, and other areas that often act as obstacles in
developing a diverse labor pool and contracting community.
In FY 2017, we pledge to continue to scrutinize our business
practices, deliver sound fiscal management, and be fully
accountable to the public for the ways in which we spend their
money. We will continue to improve our customer service
levels and our efforts to inform the community of our
operations and needs. We will persist in addressing the health,
safety, and environmental needs of our St. Louis community.
In short, we will work to prepare MSD, its customers, and our
community for the challenges of the future.
Sincerely,
Brian Hoelscher, Executive Director, P.E.

Fiscal Year 2017 BUDGET6
BUDGET SUMMARYThe Budget Summary section contains policies, processes, graphs and chartsrelated to budget development. This section also contains information regardingstaffing and a summary of the Capital Improvement and Replacement Program.7
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District's budget & financial policies set forth the basic framework for the District’s overall management of operations taking into account changing circumstances and conditions. These policies assist the decision making process of the Board and provide guidelines for evaluating both current activities and proposals for future programs. Balanced Budget Policy Performance Against Policy Section 7.130 of the District’s Charter requires a balanced budget be submitted to The Board for approval. It mandates the following three requirements: In no event shall the total amount of proposed expenditures for the budget year from any fund exceed the estimated revenues to be actually received plus any unencumbered balance or less any deficit estimated for the beginning of the budget year. “Changes in Fund Balance” pages are included in this book to demonstrate compliance with this policy. The Annual Budget must be balanced. All funds, Department operations and services, supported by the financial resources of the District, must function within the limits of these resources identified or available specifically to them. A balance must be struck between revenues and expenditures so that the public can realize the benefits of a strong and stable utility. By law, budgets cannot exceed available resources, defined as revenues generated in the current period added to balances carried forward from prior years. FY17 Total Revenue: (shown in million $) Wastewater User Charges: $339.5 Revenue Bonds: 242.5 Taxes: 30.7 Investment and Other Income: 7.1 Use of Fund Balances: 54.1 TOTAL DISTRICT REVENUE: $673.9 FY17 Total Expense: (shown in million $) Operating Budget: $196.6 CIRP: 378.5 Debt Service: 98.8 TOTAL DISTRICT EXPENSES: $673.9 Pursuant to the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Charter, Section 7.130, not later than the fifteenth day of March in each year, the Executive Director will submit to The Board a budget for the ensuing fiscal year, an explanatory budget message, and a general appropriation ordinance conforming with such budget. The budget shall provide a financial plan for the budget year for all District and subdistrict funds. The Executive Director submitted the required items to The Board on March 10, 2016. 8
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Operating Budget Policies Performance Against Policy Historical levels of funding and expenditures shall be included in the budget to provide comparisons. Financial forecasting of future requirements shall be included to provide estimates of future financial and operating conditions. “Changes in Fund Balance” pages are included in this book to demonstrate compliance with this policy. Whenever approved by The Board, the Executive Director may transfer any unencumbered appropriation balances or portions from one classification of expenditure to another. The District complies with this policy. Per Section 7.160 of the Charter, at any time during the budget year, upon recommendation of the Executive Director, The Board may, by ordinance, make supplementary appropriations if (1) the Executive Director estimates that such appropriations will not result in a deficit at the end of the budget, or (2) The Board shall adopt an ordinance or ordinances consistent with the requirements in Section 7.140 providing additional revenues and the Executive Director estimates that the amount to be actually received there from during the budget year will equal or exceed the amount of such supplementary appropriations. The District complies with this policy. The District will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the budget and will prepare regular reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts. The District’s accounting system has controls to ensure compliance with the budget. Managers receive daily reports that show financial performance against budget. Monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures are prepared for Senior Management and highlights of these reports are presented quarterly to the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. 9
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Revenue Policies Performance Against Policy The District will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to minimize short-run fluctuations in any one revenue source. User Charge Fees are the District’s primary source of funding for wastewater operations. While some of these fees are also used for capital improvements, the District also uses revenue bonds to finance a large portion of the CIRP. The District will follow an aggressive policy of collecting revenues. The District uses a multi-layered approach to collecting past due accounts. It employs a series of automated reminder calls to accounts that are 25 days delinquent. Accounts that remain delinquent then progress to being placed with collection agencies, second placement agencies and eventually law firms for collection. The District will establish wastewater user charges and stormwater user charges, fees and tax rates at a level related to the full cost (operating, direct, indirect and capital) of providing the service. Voter approval is required to implement tax rate increases. The District is required to make rate change proposals to a Rate Commission. During this rate setting process, the District’s rate consultant performed a detailed cost of service analysis using industry standard principles endorsed by the Water Environment Federation which allows the District to demonstrate that rates have not been set at a level to recover the full cost, without excess, of providing service. The District will review wastewater fees and stormwater user charges, and fees annually to determine if the revenues support the cost of the service. Rate increases to generate needed revenues are required, per Charter Section 7.040, to be submitted to the District’s Rate Commission for review and recommendation to The Board. The District reviews fee revenue annually as part of the budget process to ensure it is adequate to meet the District’s balanced budget requirement. The major revenue sources of the District include Wastewater User Charges, Taxes, Revenue Bonds, Investment Income and Connection Fees. The District complies with this policy. Investment Policies Performance Against Policy The District will maximize the return on all cash available for investment without sacrifice of safety or necessary liquidity. The District complies with this policy. The Secretary-Treasurer will develop and maintain a comprehensive, well-documented investment reporting system. This system will provide The Board with appropriate investment performance information. The Secretary-Treasurer reports monthly to the Finance Committee of The Board on the performance and make-up of the investment portfolio. 10
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Debt Policies Performance Against Policy The Board shall authorize and approve all debt issued for the purpose of financing portions of the District’s Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (CIRP) as well as debt that may be issued for the purpose of refunding any outstanding District debt. In the previous budget year, the District participated in the Series 2015A SRF Direct Loan Program with the State of Missouri and issued Series 2015B Revenue Bonds. The Board approved these debt issuances with Ordinances 14225 and 14312, respectively. The District will confine long-term borrowing to finance authorized capital improvement projects or to refund, on a current or advanced basis, outstanding debt obligations. The District complies with this policy. The District may issue long-term debt (general obligation or revenue bonds) where it is deemed that capital improvements should not be financed from current revenues. Long-term borrowing will not be used to finance current operations or normal maintenance. Long-term debt will be self-supporting and structured such that the weighted average maturity of the debt does not exceed the expected useful life of the capital project. The District’s use of revenue bonds during FY2016 was consistent with use of debt outlined in the Rate Change Report accepted by The Board on December 8, 2011. The proceeds from these bonds were used solely for capital improvements, where the assets gained have a useful life greater than the weighted average maturity of the debt. The District may issue (1) general obligation bonds to finance capital improvement projects that result in community-wide benefits (2) revenue bonds to finance capital improvement projects serviced from the net revenues from a particular enterprise, such as sewer service. The District’s use of revenue bonds in FY2016 for capital improvement projects will be serviced with pledged revenues from sanitary sewer user charges. Issuance of general obligation bonds requires 57% approval of those voting at primary and general elections and a 67% approval at other elections. Issuance of revenue bonds requires simple majority approval of those voting. The District’s issuance of revenue bonds in FY2016 were authorized by voters at a special election held on June 5, 2012. No general obligation bonds shall be issued in an amount, which together with existing indebtedness of the District or a subdistrict exceeds in the aggregate 5% of the value of all taxable tangible property in the District and its subdistricts. The District has no outstanding general obligation bonds. Any general obligation bonds issued under the District charter shall mature over a period not exceeding 20 years from the date contracted, while revenue bond maturities may extend to 30 years. The District has no outstanding general obligation bonds. For the purpose of refunding, extending, or unifying the whole or any part of its valid bonded indebtedness, the District may issue refunding bonds not exceeding the principle amount of the outstanding indebtedness to be refunded and the accrued interest to the date of such refunding bonds. A portion of the Series 2015B bonds issued by the District in FY2016 refunded outstanding principle and accrued interest on Series 2006C and Series 2008A revenue bonds. 11
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Debt Policies (continued) Performance Against Policy Short-term borrowing may be utilized as authorized by District Charter, Section 3.020(13), for the temporary funding of capital projects or for operational cash flow deficits subject to the following policies: District may issue short-term debt when there is a defined and adequate repayment source. Lines of Credit may be considered as an alternative to other short-term borrowing options if it is determined to be more cost-effective. Other short-term debt, including commercial paper notes, may be used when it provides an interest rate advantage or as interim financing until market conditions are more favorable for long-term debt issuance. The District did not utilize short-term borrowing in FY2016. Per Charter Section 3.020, the District may use short-term debt to provide for the borrowing of money in anticipation of the collection of taxes and revenues for the fiscal year. The amount of such loans shall at no time exceed 90% of the estimated collectible taxes and revenues for the year yet uncollected. The District did not utilize short-term borrowing in FY2016. 12
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Reserve Policies Performance Against Policy The operating reserve is a balance maintained in the General Fund, Construction Funds and Special Funds combined to accommodate fluctuations in annual revenues and expenditures. The District currently maintains a minimum fund balance of 60 days or 16.4% of the next year’s annual operating expenditures for working capital. Operating Reserves for: FY2015 – Actual – 241 days FY2016 – Projected – 245 days The District will maintain a Stormwater Emergency Fund with a minimum balance of $250,000 and a Wastewater Emergency Fund with a minimum balance of $500,000. Please refer to the “Changes in Fund Balance” tables for these funds in the Debt Service & Special Funds section of this book. The District will maintain a Wastewater Backup Insurance and Reimbursement Fund with a minimum balance of $1 million dollars. Please refer to the “Changes in Fund Balance” tables for these funds in the Debt Service & Special Funds section of this book. The District will maintain a General Insurance Fund with a minimum balance of $500,000 dollars. Please refer to the “Changes in Fund Balance” tables for these funds in the Debt Service & Special Funds section of this book. Funds will be reserved to comply with the terms and conditions of the debt instruments used to finance capital improvement projects. The Master Bond Document contains a 45-day reserve requirement. Operating reserves for: FY2015 – Actual – 241 days FY2016 – Projected – 245 days Property taxes levied by the District and other revenue received for construction, operations and maintenance in particular taxing subdistricts will be reserved for that use. The District maintains separate funds to account for each of the taxing subdistricts it manages. 13
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Capital Improvement and Replacement Policies Performance Against Policy The District shall prepare a long-term plan for wastewater infrastructure projects to relieve backup complaints and/or for the correction of identified sanitary sewer capacity inadequacies and deficiencies and/or for the correction of bypasses and overflows. This plan shall include stormwater projects to prevent flooding and erosion threatening homes and property. This plan shall be used to develop a five year CIRP and make all capital improvements accordingly. This five year plan shall be updated annually. The Executive Director delivered the five year CIRP to The Board on March 10, 2016. This plan is updated annually and is consistent with The District’s long-term plan for wastewater and stormwater projects. The Board adopts the CIRP as a planning document, but does not appropriate the identified multi-year expenditures. These expenditures are legally authorized during the year at the time a fixed contract is awarded. The District complies with this policy. The District will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the District's capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. The District complies with this policy. Financial and Accounting Policies Performance Against Policy An independent audit shall be made of all accounts of the District at least annually by a certified public accounting firm that shall be engaged by The Board. Rubin Brown LLP issued their Independent Auditors’ Report for the financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 on October 13, 2015. Financial reports will be submitted to The Board and District Staff. The District complies with this policy. District financial information will be available through monthly financial statements, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and Annual Budget. The District prepares monthly financial statements and publishes quarterly statements on its website. The CAFR and the Annual Budget are also available on the District’s website. The District will produce annual financial reports in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The District’s CAFR is prepared in accordance with GAAP as outlined by the GASB. 14
Financial Structure The District’s financial structure is organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with fund specific balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balances, revenues and expenditures. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The District uses both Governmental Funds and Proprietary Funds. The District uses a Modified Accrual method of budgeting, and both Modified Accrual and Accrual bases of accounting. In the table below, each fund type and group is identified. The purpose of the fund is stated, and the Budgeting Basis and Accounting Basis is also reported for each fund group. Modified Accrual Accounting or Budgeting recognizes revenues when they are both available and measurable. Most expenditures are recognized when an obligation to pay is established, except in the case of interest on long‐term debt. That interest expense is recognized when it is due. Full Accrual Accounting is very similar to Modified Accrual Accounting. Under Full Accrual revenues are recognized when earned, and expenditures are recognized when an obligation to pay is established. However, the major ways in which Modified Accrual is different than Full Accrual is the recognition of Capital expenses. Under the Modified Accrual method, Capital expenses are recognized when the entity has an obligation to pay. Under the Full Accrual method, Capital expenses are recognized over the life of the asset. 15
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Fund Type/Fund Title Purpose Budgeting Basis Accounting Basis GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS General Fund The General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Modified Accrual Modified Accrual Revenue Funds The Revenue Funds account for all wastewater and stormwater user charges billed to customers. User Charge proceeds are recorded in the Revenue Funds and allocated to the various other funds to cover operation and maintenance costs and capital improvement expenditures. Modified Accrual Modified Accrual Operations, Maintenance and Construction Improvement Funds These funds account for the proceeds from tax levies in the various subdistricts. These are primarily stormwater dedicated subdistrict assessments which fund projects, stormwater operations and maintenance specific to each subdistrict’s geographic area. Effective in Fiscal Year 2017, tax levies for all OMCI subdistricts are suspended. Remaining fund balances will be used for maintenance and operation of facilities in the respective subdistricts until balances are depleted. Modified Accrual Modified Accrual Construction Funds The Construction Funds are established to receive and disburse proceeds from revenue sources and restricted for construction of improvements to sewerage and drainage collection systems and treatment facilities. The District has two construction funds that support the majority of the CIRP: 1) the Sanitary Replacement Fund and, 2) the Stormwater Replacement Fund. Use of these funds is dedicated to sanitary and stormwater projects, respectively. Modified Accrual Modified Accrual Debt Service Funds The Debt Service Funds are established for bond issues sold by the District. These funds provide for the accounting of receipt and disbursement of monies designated for payment of principal and interest and redemption of outstanding bond issues. A distinct fund is established for each of the District’s bond issues. Modified Accrual Modified Accrual 16
BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES (continued) Fund Type/Fund Title Purpose Budgeting Basis Accounting Basis GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS (continued) Special Funds The Special Funds are established to: 1) account for and report financial resources related to the proceeds of specific revenue sources designated for specific purposes, or 2) account for and report financial resources related to funds required to maintain a minimum balance. The District’s current Special Funds consist of the following: 1. Improvement Fund – to account for the cost of any improvements and special tax bills issued for any improvement. 2. Water Backup Insurance and Reimbursement Fund – to account for customer water backup insurance claims resulting from over charged lines or blocked mains. 3. General Insurance Fund – to be used to pay the cost of workers’ compensation claims, property insurance, general liability, auto liability, flood insurance and all expenses (i.e. premiums, claims, claim expenses, claim recoveries and claim accruals) related to these coverages. 4. Two Emergency Funds – to account for monies needed to address Wastewater and Stormwater emergencies. Such emergencies require immediate District response. Examples are sewer repairs and replacements to immediately address severe disruption in the operations and maintenance of the District, weather related disruption of District operations, and other disruptions of District services caused by dramatic unforeseen events. Modified Accrual Modified Accrual PROPRIETARY FUNDS Enterprise Funds Account for operations financed and operated in a manner similar to the private sector. The District utilizes these funds to convert the accounting records from a modified accrual to an accrual basis. The District performs this conversion so that it may produce financial statements as a single enterprise fund. These funds are not budgeted. Accrual 17

Strategic Business and Operating Plan
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP) is a business-focused blueprint for serving our ratepayers
now and into the future. It is a plan that puts the ratepayers and the St. Louis community first. The SBOP’s goals are clear:
Deliver consistent, high quality customer service;
Comply with all legal and regulatory requirements and schedules;
Minimize customer rate increases; and
Be accountable to the St. Louis community.
These goals build on the public input and feedback that the District has received since the first SBOP was introduced in 2001.
While the FY 2017 goals may appear similar to the original set of goals, the underlying refinements and changes in these goals are
significant. The FY 2017 SBOP is easily understood, the goals and resulting strategies are actionable, and the impact of the
strategies is measurable. Additionally, the FY 2017 SBOP continues a philosophy that intimately links budgetary expenditures and
strategic goals. Under this philosophy, the goals and strategies of the SBOP drive budgetary expenditures and succinctly support
the SBOP’s success. Further, the budgetary expenditures for the SBOP are business focused and ultimately serve the ratepayer.
To achieve these goals, the FY 2017 SBOP proposes six business-focused strategies:
Strategy 1: Educate and partner with stakeholders to build support.
Essential to our success is an active dialog with stakeholders to improve mutual understanding of the needs of the District and its
stakeholders. Education will focus on the District’s goals, needs and initiatives. When possible, we will partner with stakeholders
to achieve win-win solutions on common issues. Partnering will take many forms, including – but not restricted to – discussions
with various stakeholder groups; District organized focus groups; employee participation in civic organizations; and regulatory
advisory committees.
20
Strategy 2: Manage the District’s costs and revenues to optimize financial impacts.
The District continues to face increasing fiscal demands related to regulatory issues affecting its collection and treatment systems.
In response to these demands, the District is continuing its important work to protect local waterways, ensure compliance wit h
State and Federal environmental regulations, and provide effective, efficient wastewater and stormwater services to the St. Louis
community. This work continues in the form of Project Clear, which includes the District’s multi-decade, multi-billion dollar
Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (CIRP). It is essential that the District diligently manage costs and minimize rate
increases. Sound financial management, long-term planning, internal audit practices, and leveraging of data are critical
components of this strategy.
Strategy 3: Integrate and improve the District’s business processes.
Not accepting the status quo as justification for current and future business practices, and continually reviewing best practices
amongst contemporaries are cultural imperatives for continual improvement. The goal of this initiative focuses on identifying and
implementing process improvements that will enable the District to meet or exceed established performance, production and
customer satisfaction goals.
Strategy 4: Promote appropriate standards through proactive regulatory and legislative involvement.
The most significant factors affecting current and future rate increases are federal and state regulations and legislation. It is often
the case that implementation of multiple regulations compete for the same, scarce funding resources. As authorities in wastewater
and stormwater management, it is essential that we assist in the creation of regulations that will efficiently achieve desired results.
This extends to both regulations that govern environmental protection and regulations that are not directly linked to those duties,
but are drivers for other facets of the District’s business functions. This strategy focuses on our involvement in the formation of
regulations and legislation that impact all areas of the District's operations. It is crucial that regulations and legislation be based
on sound technical information and governance frameworks. The District and others in the regulated community are in the best
position to provide such information. New regulations and legislation – particularly those pertaining to environmental protection
– should be practical and able to be implemented in a like manner.
21
Strategy 5: Address customer and regulatory needs through a comprehensive infrastructure management program.
Maintaining customer service expectations and meeting regulatory requirements are paramount concerns within the District’s
mission. However, these must be balanced against the need to cost effectively maintain the District’s wastewater and stormwat er
assets. This can only be achieved through investigation, planning, maintenance and capital replacement programs. A model
infrastructure management program effectively integrates these processes while considering risk and required service levels. The
resulting program minimizes the life-cycle costs of infrastructure assets at an acceptable level of risk, while continually delivering
established levels of service.
Strategy 6: Create a learning and business oriented culture based on competency and accountability.
The District’s success is dependent upon employees having appropriate competencies and skills within a culture of accountability
- a culture that is rooted in ethical integrity and seeks a balance between effectiveness, efficiency and cost management.
Improving employee and organizational performance at all levels is the core of this strategy. Special emphasis will be placed on
leadership development, management/supervisory skill training, open communications, general operational and administrative
needs, and building awareness of individual employees’ role in the success of the overall organization.
FISCAL YEAR 2017 OBJECTIVES
The District has developed a set of specific objectives that support these strategies and, thus, achieve the goals of the Strategic
Business and Operating Plan. Objectives are segmented into “Year 1”, “Year 2” and “Years 3 -5” categories. Combined, these
objectives make up the tactical blueprint that we will engage in during FY 2017 and beyond, as we strive to protect the public’s
health, safety and water environment by responsibly providing wastewater and stormwater management.
Achieving these objectives is the responsibility of various departments within the District. These departments are shown on the
following organizational chart:

BUDGET PROCESS FY17 The District’s Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP) is the key to the development of the Annual Budget. The SBOP process begins in July when all Departments are given the opportunity to reassess goals, strategies and objectives and the means for accomplishing them. The budget serves as the tool to communicate the District’s long-term plans and policies to the public, details the costs of services and programs and becomes the plan to accomplish the District’s goals and objectives during the next fiscal year. The budget process begins in early October with the projection of revenues (wastewater and stormwater user charges, investment & other income). District-wide imperatives and budgetary parameters are established by Executive Management and The Board of Trustees (“The Board”). The imperatives for this fiscal year include: IMPERATIVES FOR FY17 STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN STRATEGY OBJECTIVE District wastewater expenses are to be budgeted within the total 4-year parameter of the July 2015 Rate Commission Report. 2 3 Create two stormwater budget scenarios: a. Assume no change in revenue or service levels b. Assume all Operation and Maintenance costs are funded through new 10 cent property tax revenue; all Regulatory costs are funded through existing 2 cent property tax; and spend down remaining stormwater account balances as committed in Rate Proposal. 5 1 Execution of CIRP within the total four year parameter of the July 2015 Rate Commission Report. 2 3 Fund Information Technology long range infrastructure plan. 3 5 Meet all requirements and deadlines of the Consent Decree. 3 and 4 1 and 2 Meet requirements of Disparity Study, Community Benefits Agreement and overall Diversity Program. 1 3 Budget appropriate costs associated with work on a document management system for the District. 3 5 Department Directors and Managers begin budget development by providing an updated expenditure forecast for the remainder of FY16. A two step, zero-based budgeting method is used to develop the FY17 budget. This method requires written justification as to need and purpose for all expenditures. The first step is the preparation of a base budget that reflects the ongoing day-to-day operations of each Department. The second step is the preparation of an incremental budget, which reflects costs associated with initiatives outlined in the SBOP. Throughout the budget development process, departmental staff is required to evaluate programs and identify possible changes in services and staff positions. The Department Directors forward their proposed base budgets to the Director of Finance for analysis. Cost benefit business cases to support incremental budgets are submitted to the Executive Director for review. The base budgets and requests for incremental funding are then compiled and further analyzed to ensure the preliminary budget meets the District’s needs, priorities, goals and objectives without exceeding forecasted resources. Any unresolved issues are presented to the Executive Director for a final decision. The recommended budget reductions and adjustments are then incorporated. Per Charter a preliminary budget is delivered to the Board of Trustees (“The Board”) for review by March 15th. A series of budget presentations are given to The Board’s Finance Committee to allow for more in-depth review by the Trustees. 54
BUDGET PROCESS FY17-continued The Board’s recommended budget adjustments are then incorporated into a final budget document. A proposed financial plan and an Executive Summary of the budget are communicated to the general public in the form of a public hearing. The public hearing is advertised in the newspapers at least three weeks before the scheduled hearing in order to allow sufficient time for the public to review and ask questions. The Board is then required to adopt the budget, tax and rate ordinances (if applicable) consistent with the District’s Charter and state law. The District’s fiscal year begins on July 1st. Departments are accountable for budgetary control throughout the fiscal year. Expenditure patterns are examined and compared to budget plans with variances reported. Responses to significant variances are required quarterly from each Department and reviewed by the Director of Finance. Budget status is reviewed with senior staff monthly, and is reported quarterly to The Board at its monthly Finance Committee meeting. The Director of Finance reviews the District’s monthly financial statements and budget variance report ensuring the District’s actual revenue is sufficient to support budgeted expenditures. Forecasted expenses are also compared to budget. The District’s operating budget is adopted at the Department level as detailed in the District’s Budget Ordinance. Any transfers between Funds require Board approval. Budget transfers are made on an as-needed basis. Expenditures for the Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (“CIRP”) are presented on an appropriated basis as opposed to a cash flow basis. The District’s accounting procedures require an adequate budget to pay for planned Ordinances in the period in which an Ordinance is appropriated. All outstanding CIRP encumbrances remain open until a project is completed. A budget is developed for both revenues and expenses: 1. Revenue expectations are developed from trend analysis, incorporating upcoming rate increases and significant economic and policy factors. FY17 Total Revenue: (shown in million $) Wastewater User Charges: $339.5 Revenue Bonds: 242.5 Taxes: 30.7 Investment and Other Income: 7.1 Use of Fund Balances: 54.1 TOTAL DISTRICT REVENUE: $673.9 2. Operating Expenses are developed using a zero based budgeting method with written justification for all expenditures. The CIRP is developed by the District’s Engineering Department based on the revenues forecasted for the coming year. Projects prioritized for the coming year are outlined in a supplemental report in conjunction with the Operating Budget. Debt service for the District’s existing and forecasted use of bonds is developed by the District’s Secretary-Treasurer’s Department and incorporated into the Operating Budget.

FY17 SOURCES OF FUNDING USER CHARGES The District has a Wastewater User Charges which is recorded in the Wastewater Revenue Fund. A portion of the revenue is transferred to the General Fund to cover daily operating, maintenance and replacement costs; a portion is allocated to the Water Backup Insurance and Reimbursement Fund to provide assistance to homeowners with damages resulting from blocked main and basement backups, another portion is transferred to the General Insurance Fund to pay the cost of workers’ compensation claims, property insurance, general liability, auto liability and flood insurance, and a portion is allocated to the Debt Service Funds to retire outstanding bonds issued for capital improvements. The remainder of the revenue is transferred to the Capital Improvement and Replacement Funds for construction projects and emergencies. A chart detailing the flow of funds is also included in the following pages of the Budget Summary section. Wastewater: Residential customers with metered water service will pay a billing and collection charge, a system availability charge and a volume charge based on the most recent winter quarter water usage. Unmetered customers will pay the same charges with the exception of a volume charge. Unmetered volume is based on housing attributes such as the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures. Non-residential customers will pay the same charges plus an additional compliance charge. Some non-residential customers will pay extra strength surcharges for the treatment of wastewater containing suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand or chemical oxygen demand exceeding normal wastewater strengths. User Charges in the Wastewater Revenue Fund for FY17 is estimated at $338.5 million. Other User Charges: Other User Charge revenue such as Late Fees, Lien Interest, Refunds and Account Adjustments are estimated to be $1.0 million. This amount is net of a provision to recognize delinquent customer bills. TOTAL WASTEWATER USER CHARGE REVENUE: The District’s total FY17 User Charge revenue is estimated to be $339.5 million. The District provides an assistance program to customers who meet the eligibility requirements of income, age or disability. Those customers who are eligible will receive a credit equal to 50% of their sewer service charge bill. A composite schedule of the budgeted Wastewater and Stormwater user charge revenue by customer class can be found in the pages of the Revenue Funds Section. 58
FY17 SOURCES OF FUNDING-continued REVENUE BONDS The District plans to receive approximately $242.5 million in bond and loan proceeds in FY17 to be used for capital improvement projects. These proceeds are expected to be derived from Senior Revenue bonds with a par value of $150.0 million providing approximately $167.5 million in proceeds including premiums of $17.5 million. The remaining $75.0 million in proceeds will be derived from participation in the State of Missouri SRF direct loan program. Prior to a November 2000 Charter change, the District was unable to issue revenue bonds as a source of funding its Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (“CIRP”). Almost all of the District’s capital expenditures were funded from annual cash flow, known as Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) funding. Continuation of a PAYGO approach as the District’s sole funding option would have required significant rate increases to generate the necessary annual capital funding. PAYGO is the lowest cost funding source due to it’s avoidance of the financing and interest costs associated with long term debt. The primary negatives associated with PAYGO funding include: 1) the short-term impact on customer rates, and 2) the mismatch between the cost and benefit of the District’s capital infrastructure to the users. In the case of capital projects that have a long life expectancy, PAYGO funding causes today’s customers to pay for an asset that will be used by tomorrow’s customers for many years. Financing a portion of the capital program with bonds is an excellent way to distribute the cost of long-term assets to the future customers who will benefit from the use of the assets and lessen the impact of short-term rate increases. It is typically considered good public policy to allocate a portion of the cost of long-term assets to future users by the use of debt. At the same time, prudent fiscal policy would not allow 100% debt financing. The goal is to strike the correct balance between the distribution of the cost of long-term assets to the users that benefit from them and maintaining healthy financial ratios. AD VALOREM TAXES During FY17 all taxpayers within the District’s boundaries will be assessed a $0.02 (two cents) per $100 of assessed valuation tax levy to pay primarily for stormwater services required by State and Federal regulations. All taxpayers within the District will also be assessed a $0.10 (ten cents) per $100 of assessed valuation tax levy to pay for the District’s non-regulatory stormwater costs. This tax revenue of approximately $30.7 million is recorded in the General Fund ($5,126,245) and the Districtwide Stormwater Fund ($25,551,774) of the District. 59
FY17 SOURCES OF FUNDING-continued Other property tax rates will be suspended within the District’s boundaries beginning in FY17. All subdistrict taxes previously collected within these boundaries are held in the Operation, Maintenance and Construction Improvement (OMCI) fund balances and must be used primarily for stormwater capital improvements and stormwater operating expenses within the specific subdistrict boundaries in which the taxes are collected. INVESTMENT INCOME & OTHER FEES Investment Income and Other Fees will fund $7.1 million of the Budget. Investment Income of approximately $2.7 million is anticipated. Connection fees are expected to generate $1.0 million based on a flat rate per connection to the sanitary system. These revenue estimates are based on previous experience, current economic conditions and anticipated new home construction. Rental income is expected to generate $65 thousand. Permit, Plan Review and other engineering fees are projected to be $1.9 million. Miscellaneous Income of approximately $1.2 million is expected, comprised of $914 thousand in refunds of court costs and attorney fees and $286 thousand from multiple other sources including sale of scrap, forfeited deposits and reimbursement of District costs. GRANT INCOME No grant income is anticipated during the 2017 fiscal year. In the past, large Federal grants were available to help defray the cost of major clean water projects. Currently, however, the Federal government has decided to leave the funding of these projects to the local users of the system. The District will continue to aggressively pursue all possible grant opportunities. FUND BALANCES These sources of funding will result in a fund balance decrease of $54.1 million during FY17. 60

or storm water which enters the Wastewater System.
"Wastewater System" means the entire sewer and drainage system owned and operated by the District for the
collection, transportation, storage, handling, and treatment of Wastewater, to serve the needs of the District and its inhabitants and
206
others, including all appurtenances and facilities connected therewith or relating thereto, together with all extensions, improvements,
additions and enlargements thereto hereafter made or acquired by the District.
"Wastewater User Charges" means the applicable charges established by Section Three of this Ordinance, which
consist of that portion of the charges of the District, which are established in a proportional and adequate manner to pay the cost of
operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the Wastewater System in accordance with the requirements of the EPA and the
MDNR.
Section Two. Establishment of Wastewater User Charges. There are hereby ratified, confirmed and established for
services provided by the District to any Property Served by the Wastewater System, the Wastewater User Charges as set forth in
Appendix I. All such Wastewater User Charges shall be in addition to any applicable Capital Charges.
The District’s Wastewater User Charges must comply with the following mandates (the "Environmental Mandates"):
(i) to have an approved Wastewater User Charge as required by the Federal Clean Water Act, the Missouri Clean Water Law and its
Grant Agreements, and (ii) to provide necessary funds to operate, maintain and replace its Wastewater System so as to provide
adequate Service to District residents and as required by the Consent Decree. The District finds that it is necessary and in the public
interest to implement the schedule of Wastewater User Charges as herein provided in order to protect the public health, safety and
welfare and to ensure the District's continued compliance with the Environmental Mandates.
Section Three. Wastewater User Charges.
(A) Metered Property.
(1) Each Metered Property shall be charged a Base Charge and a Volume Charge as set forth in Appendix I.
The Volume Charge shall be calculated separately for each Metered Property, using the most current determination of Contributed
Wastewater Volume.
(2) Extra Strength Surcharges. Extra Strength Surcharges for the treatment of wastes containing Suspended
Solids, Biochemical Oxygen Demand or Chemical Oxygen Demand exceeding Normal Wastewater strengths are hereby established
and shall be billed to and collected from Non-residential Property Served by the Wastewater System at the rates for each User
207
Account set forth in Appendix I, and shall be collected in addition to the charges imposed by Subsections (1) and (3) hereof.
(a) A User shall be subject to Extra Strength Surcharges in any month if that User's water usage in
such month equals or exceeds eight thousand cubic feet.
(b) Each User subject to Extra Strength Surcharges shall submit to the District on forms supplied by the
District pursuant to the Sewer Use Ordinance, a certified statement setting forth the strength and volume of Wastewater discharged by
the User into the Wastewater System or into any sewer connected thereto. The data set forth in such statement shall be obtained from
samples collected in accordance with accepted procedures from the manhole or adequate place as described in the Sewer Use
Ordinance at a time period representative of normal operational conditions and analyzed utilizing Standard Test Procedures.
(c) Analytical data reported by the User discharging such Wastewater will be considered current for
each subsequent billing period until such data is reported inaccurate and replaced by updated certified data by said User. The results of
routine scheduled sampling and analyses by the District may be used in lieu of data reported by said User if such data is found to be
not current or in error.
(d) An Extra Strength Surcharge shall be collected from any User subject to Extra Strength Surcharges
as provided for herein for the discharge into the Wastewater System of Suspended Solids which average concentration exceeds 300
milligrams per liter or Biochemical Oxygen Demand which average concentration exceeds 300 milligrams per liter, with said Extra
Strength Surcharge calculated for each billing period according to the following formula, to wit:
0.00624 x V x [(SS-300) x RSS + (BOD-300) x RBOD]
ESS = 2000
(e) If the BOD/COD ratio of a User's Wastewater is equal to or less than 0.35 the BOD measurement
may not be considered representative of the User's actual Wastewater strength. The District may substitute Chemical Oxygen Demand
which average concentration exceeds 600 milligrams per liter, with said Extra Strength Surcharge calculated for each billing period
208
according to the following formula, to wit:
0.00624 x V x [(SS-300) x RSS + (COD-600) x RCOD]
ESS = 2000
In the above formulas the following terms shall mean:
ESS = Extra Strength Surcharges.
300 = Maximum concentration of total BOD in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
300 = Maximum concentration of total Suspended Solids in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
600 = Maximum concentration of total COD in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
0.00624 = Conversion factor for milligrams per liter to pounds per hundred cubic feet.
V = Volume of water usage or Wastewater discharged expressed in hundred cubic feet.
RSS = Rate for SS in dollars per ton.
RBOD = Rate for BOD in dollars per ton.
RCOD = Rate for COD in dollars per ton.
2,000 = The number of pounds per ton.
(f) All Extra Strength Surcharges shall be calculated separately for each Property using the
Wastewater flow proportioned average strength concentration for each strength parameter and the most current determination of
Contributed Wastewater Volume. No credit is given when the wastewater strength is less than normal wastewater.
(3) Non-residential Property Compliance Charge. A Compliance Charge shall be collected from all Non-
209
residential Property Served by the Wastewater System at the rate for each User Account as set forth in Appendix I and shall be
collected in addition to the charges imposed by Subsections (1) and (2) hereof.
(4) Registration of Unmetered Water Supply. In the event Property is supplied either in whole or in part
with water from wells or any source other than a public water supplier, then such wells or other source of supply shall be registered
with the Director of Finance of the District. If such supply serves Metered Property and is not measured by a water meter, or is
measured by a water meter not acceptable to the District, then in such case, the User, at the User’s own expense shall install and
maintain an Approved Meter connected to such water supply. Whenever a new supplier or source of water other than a public water
supplier shall be put into use by Metered Property, such source of water shall be registered with the Director of Finance of the District
within thirty (30) days.
(5) Metered Water Not Entering the Wastewater System. Where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the
District that a portion of the water as measured by an Approved Meter does not enter the Wastewater System, then the District is
hereby authorized to determine, in such manner and by such method as may be practicable, the percentage of the water measured by
the Approved Meter which enters the Wastewater System. In such case, Wastewater User Charges shall be based upon the percentage
of the metered water entering the Wastewater System. Additional Approved Meters may be required or permitted at the User's expense
in such manner as to measure the quantity of Contributed Wastewater Volume entering the Wastewater System from the Property of
such User. Applications requesting consideration for a reduction in the Wastewater Service Charge, because of water not entering the
Wastewater System, shall be made to the Director of Finance of the District, on forms provided by the District.
(6) Requirement of an Approved Meter for Non-Residential Property. All Non-Residential Property within
the District shall be connected to an Approved Meter. In the event Property within the District is owned by a municipality and is
served by water provided by such municipality and not connected to an Approved Meter, the District shall provide a method for
estimating Wastewater discharge by such Property which is fair and equitable, in lieu of connection to an Approved Meter, and shall
bill such municipality for Wastewater User Charges as provided for Metered Property pursuant to this Ordinance based on such
estimated Wastewater usage.
210
(B) Unmetered Residential Property. Each Unmetered Residential Property shall be charged a Base Charge and a
Room/Fixture Charge as set forth in Appendix I. Such charges shall be calculated separately for each Unmetered Residential Property
using the most current available data regarding the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property. The Director of Finance
shall determine the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property from the records of the City of St. Louis Water Division
or other public water suppliers, from the records of the Office of Assessor of the City of St. Louis or St. Louis County, or from on-site
inspection. A User of Unmetered Residential Property who considers the determination by the District of the number of rooms and
plumbing fixtures for which such User is billed Wastewater User Charges to be inaccurate or erroneous may appeal such
determination as herein provided.
(C) Right of Entry and Inspection. The District shall have the power to enter on any Property for the purposes of
examining the use made of its Wastewater System, the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property, the number and kind
of plumbing fixtures connected with such Wastewater System, and for the purpose of inspecting or reading the Approved Meter
connected to such Property. When such examination gives reason to believe that the usage of water on such Property places a burden
on the Wastewater System in excess of that for which the User of such Property is being billed, then the Wastewater discharged from
such Property shall be measured, at the expense of the User, by a water meter or meters or by a Wastewater flow meter or meters. If
such measurement shows that the flow of Wastewater is excessive, Wastewater User Charges shall be billed and collected for such
measured usage as for Metered Property.
(D) Application of Wastewater User Charge Revenues. All revenues collected from Wastewater User Charges shall
be segregated, credited and deposited in a Wastewater Revenue Fund to be established and maintained by the Director of Finance of
the District, and shall be used solely to pay for the costs of the operation (including billing, administration and overhead), repair,
maintenance, improvement, renewal, replacement and reconstruction of the District's Wastewater System.
Section Four. Pollutants. Any User which discharges any Pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing
the effluent or sludge from the Wastewater System shall pay for such increased costs.
Section Five. All bills for Wastewater User Charges shall be prepared by the District and shall be issued monthly for
211
services provided in the preceding month.
The issuance of any monthly bill may be delayed by the District for good cause.
On or after May 1, 2004, the Wastewater User Charges shall be billed to the Owner or Owners of the Property served
by the Wastewater System. Such Wastewater User Charges shall also constitute a personal obligation of any User of the Wastewater
System regardless of to whom the bill for Wastewater User Charges is sent and shall constitute a charge and a lien against the Property
Served, whether or not a notice of lien has been served.
For the District's convenience, all individual Wastewater User Charges may be combined with any other charges of the
District, and all such charges may be billed together. In the event of a change in Owner or User of Property or termination of Service
to Property during a billing period, application may be made to the Director of Finance of the District for a refund or proration of
Wastewater User Charges for such billing period.
The Owner of Metered Residential Property containing more than one unit shall have the option of being charged on
the basis of Best Equated Period. The Owner may obtain an application for such change from the Director of Finance. Upon receipt of
an Application of Change in billing basis for said Property the change in billing will take effect not sooner than sixty (60) days from
receipt of the application.
Once an Owner of Metered Residential Property containing more than one (1) unit has elected to be charged on the
basis of Best Equated Period, that Owner shall not be permitted to again change.
In the event Wastewater Service is being provided to any parcel of real Property and said parcel is being under-billed or
not being billed at all, the District shall have the authority to charge the Owner of said parcel retroactively for a period not to exceed
one and one-half (1½) years from the date of discovery.
In the event said parcel is being over-billed by the District, and the current Owner of said parcel can verify such over-
billing, then the District shall refund the current Owner of the parcel any amount verified to be overpaid by said Owner.
The District will not collect Wastewater User Charges from the Owner of real Property when it is known that said real
Property is connected to a septic tank. Upon notification from the Property Owner that certain real Property which is connected to a
212
septic tank is being billed by the District for Wastewater User Charges, upon verification, the District will refund to the Owner any
and all of said Wastewater User Charges so collected from said Owner.
Section Six. Charge for Late Payments. On or after July 1, 2009, any Wastewater User Charges billed that are not paid
by the due date indicated on any bill rendered shall bear a late payment charge equal to three-fourths of one percent (0.75%) per
month, or nine percent (9%) per annum, of the amount of the bill rendered and is hereby imposed for each month or portion thereof
that the Wastewater User Charges remain unpaid beyond the due date.
Section Seven. Wastewater User Charges Constitute a Lien. The Wastewater User Charges shall constitute a lien upon
the Property Served on the date a bill is rendered for Wastewater Service, and said lien shall have the same priority as taxes levied for
state and county purposes. The District may cause a notice of lien for non-payment of such charges to be filed in the Office of the
Recorder of Deeds within and for the City of St. Louis or St. Louis County, depending upon where such Property Served is located.
Such notice of lien shall state the Wastewater User Charges due, and shall adequately describe the Property against which such lien is
asserted. A copy of such notice of lien shall be mailed to the Owner of the Property at the last address on file with the District and the
filing of such notice in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds may be deferred as a matter of grace for not more than thirty (30) days
from the mailing date. All Wastewater User Charges that remain unpaid shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the lower of nine
percent (9%) per annum or the maximum legal rate from the time a notice of lien is filed with the appropriate recorder of deeds as
herein prescribed, until such time as the account is brought current.
After such notice of lien is filed of record, the fees of the Recorder for filing and releasing said lien shall also be
payable to the District as a prerequisite to releasing said lien.
Section Eight. Termination of Service for Nonpayment. When any Wastewater User Charge has not been paid and has
been delinquent for a period in excess of three (3) months, the District is authorized to order the water supply to be shut off for the
Property for which the Wastewater User Charge is delinquent or to remove or close any sewer connections, or both, until payment of
the delinquent charge together with the reasonable costs involved in shutting off and turning on the water, or closing and reopening the
sewer connection, as the case may be, have been paid.
213
When any Wastewater User Charge has not been paid and has been delinquent for more than fifteen (15) days after the
due date, then the District may refuse to issue to the Owner and/or User a permit to connect any other Property owned or controlled by
said Owner and/or User to the Wastewater System or Storm Water System, or may refuse to review any plans submitted by or on
behalf of such Owner and/or User or issue any permits requested by or on behalf of such Owner and/or User, or may refuse to contract
for any purpose with or accept Wastewater or Storm Water from any such Owner and/or User.
Section Nine. Remedies. Whenever any Wastewater User Charge on an account is unpaid after sixty (60) days from the
date the bill for such account was rendered, then the amount for all such Charges, including late fees and attorney fees, accrued and
accruing on the account may be collected by any or all of the following three (3) procedures:
(A) by assignment or forwarding for collection to a collection agency or law firm; or
(B) by suit or other proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction; or
(C) by enforcement of the lien provided herein.
The District shall have the power to sue any Owner and/or User, jointly and severally, in a civil action to recover
delinquent Charges plus the late payment charge and interest on the delinquent bill, plus all costs incurred by the District in connection
with the filing, enforcement and relinquishment of such lien and the prosecution and collection of such Charges including court costs,
fees for transcript judgments, special process servers, credit reports, video reports, sewer and/or water shutoff costs, other related fees,
and reasonable attorney's fees to be fixed by the court.
Section Ten. False Information. It shall be unlawful for any Person to furnish any false report or information to the
District which would reduce any Charge imposed by the District.
Section Eleven. Violation of Ordinance. Any Person violating Section Ten of this Ordinance shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50.00 nor more than $500.00. The imposition of such
penalty shall in no way restrict or deprive the District of its right to pursue any other remedy it may have for the collection of any
delinquent bill for Charges.
Section Twelve. Wastewater User Charge Review. The Board shall regularly review the Wastewater User needs of the
214
District and Wastewater User Charges, usually as a part of a Rate Proposal from the Rate Commission, to assure the appropriateness
of the Wastewater User Charges and to:
(A) Maintain the proportional distribution of operation, maintenance and replacement costs among User classes.
(B) Provide adequate revenues to cover operation, maintenance and replacement costs.
(C) Provide adequate revenues for the payment of debt service on or required by the provisions of any outstanding

District. The Director of Finance is hereby authorized to enter into contracts with the owners or operators of business establishments
to provide collection services at such locations as are selected and may provide in such contracts for the payment by the District of a
fee to the collecting establishment for rendering such collection services.
Section Sixteen. Appeals. Any Person who considers the Wastewater User Charges billed to such Person pursuant to
the provisions of this Ordinance or any other determination by the District pursuant to the provisions of the Ordinance to be illegal,
inaccurate or erroneous may request a review thereof by the Director of Finance or his or her designate within thirty (30) days of (i)
the bill to such Person for Wastewater User Charges with respect to such Property, or (ii) written notice to such Person of a
determination by the District which is contested. The determination by the Director of Finance may be appealed by such Person to the
Executive Director, by written notice of appeal filed with the Director of Finance within thirty (30) days of the Director of Finance’s
215
determination. The determination by the Executive Director shall be considered a final order of the District.
Section Seventeen. Judicial Review. Any Person or Persons jointly or severally aggrieved by any final order of the
Executive Director of the District may seek judicial review of such decision pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 12.110 of
the District's Plan.
Section Eighteen. Adjustment Review Committee. A committee, to be known as the Adjustment Review Committee

APPENDIX I
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
Statement of Policy
for
Maintenance of Stormwater Sewer Systems
1.0 Introduction
Adequate drainage in the Metropolitan St. Louis area is necessary to preserve and promote the general health, welfare and economic
wellbeing of the region. Stormwater drainage is a regional feature that affects all governmental jurisdictions and all parcels of
property. This characteristic of drainage makes it necessary to formulate a program that includes public and private involvement both
from the master planning of new improvements and the costs associated with maintenance and replacement of existing improvements.
2.0 Definitions
Stormwater infrastructure consists of the following Systems:
Public Stormwater Systems – Stormwater infrastructure that is located in easements with rights to MSD. Stormwater infrastructure
that has been formally dedicated to MSD for maintenance.
Private Stormwater Systems -- Stormwater infrastructure that is not located in easements with rights to MSD, and is typically
designed to serve an individual property prior to connection to a public stormwater system. Stormwater Infrastructure not
dedicated to MSD for maintenance.
Non-Dedicated Stormwater Systems – Stormwater infrastructure that provides a public service and serves more than one property.
Typically systems not built per MSD standards, not in dedicated easements, and undedicated to the District. Examples may
include a system built in a subdivision without permits or District approval, or as-built drawings were not received.
Stormwater infrastructure consists of the following Assets and features:
230
Inlets – A stormwater structure that has a curb inlet, area inlet, or road grate that allows stormwater runoff to enter the stormwater
system. Inlets are interconnected to the stormwater system via storm sewer piping. Inlets typically need regular cleaning due to
the accumulation of debris that is washed in off of streets.
Stormwater sewers – Enclosed and typically underground piping that transports stormwater runoff from properties and streets to
streams.
Improved Channels – Improved stormwater channels are open trapezoidal or vertical walled channels designed to certain standards
and typically constructed from man-made structural materials, such as poured concrete, concrete block, placed stone, or gabion
baskets.
Unimproved Channels – Stormwater channels that have not been improved as described above, such as natural streams, stone
revetments, and grade controls.
Sinkholes – Natural depressions or collapsed areas formed by dissolution of carbonate bedrock. Stormwater typically drains into
the subsurface.
Improved Sinkholes – A sinkhole with an MSD approved drainage structure on top.
Driveway Culverts – Storm pipes incorporated into driveways to allow storm flows to travel through roadside ditches and gutters.
Road Culverts and Bridges – Engineered bridges and culverts designed to allow roads to span rivers, streams and stormwater
channels.
Roadside ditches or Gutters – Earthen or paved stormwater channels alongside roads or curbed gutters alongside roads.
Swales – Shallow trough-like depressions designed to divert or channel stormwater flows. Examples include ditches and other
grading to direct flow to specific areas, including MSD infrastructure.
Detention and Retention Basins – Stormwater basins often designed into neighborhoods to capture stormwater drainage from the
neighborhood stormwater systems. They are designed to capture runoff for a limited period of time and discharge into a larger
public stormwater system or stormwater channel.
231
Stormwater BMP (best management practice) – a constructed stormwater feature intended to reduce pollutants from stormwater
discharges and improve surface water quality.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) – As defined in 10 CSR 20-6.200: a MS4 is a conveyance or system of
conveyances including roads and highways with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, paved or
unpaved channels, or storm drains designated and utilized for routing of stormwater which, does not include any waters of the
state; is contained within the municipal corporate limits or is owned and operated by the state, city, town, village, county, district,
association, or other public body created by or pursuant to the laws of Missouri having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage,
industrial waste, stormwater, or other liquid wastes; is not a part or portion of a combined sewer system; and is not a part of a
publicly owned treatment works as defined in 40 CFR 122.2.
Rivers and Streams – Natural waterways that drain watersheds.

3.3 Customer and Emergency Calls: The District maintains a 24/7 call center and responds to a number of stormwater problem
calls. Response times range from four (4) hours for emergency calls, to up to 30 days for less critical investigations. MSD will
respond to calls on both Public Stormwater Systems and Non-Dedicated Stormwater Systems. MSD will not typically respond to calls
on Private Stormwater Systems. Response includes:
• Stormwater problem investigation (i.e. local ponding or flooding) – District engineers investigate localized or individual
stormwater problems. Some water solutions may be offered by the District if it involves reasonable improvements to the
Public Stormwater System. Some solutions may be the property owner’s responsibility, such as grading or swales. In these
cases the District will work to help identify the solution.
• Erosion Investigation – District engineers will investigate erosion issues. Erosion is a natural phenomenon, and due to funding
constraints, MSD is usually unable to resolve these issues. If an MSD System is determined to be the cause of the issue, MSD
will work to mitigate the problem. Engineers will give advice to the property owner.
• Cave-in (yard sinkhole) investigations – MSD personnel will investigate the cause of cave-ins. The hole is typically flooded
with dye and the Public Stormwater System is checked to see if the dye is entering through a defect in the public infrastructure.
If so, MSD will make necessary repairs.
• Street flooding - The District will respond and alleviate maintenance-related street flooding as soon as possible.
• Blocked inlets – The District will respond to blocked inlet calls and clean inlets as necessary.
• Broken or dislodged inlet tops - The District will typically respond within four hours of call.
• Blocked Creek Investigations - MSD will investigate blocked creek calls. MSD will contract to remove debris if it is deemed a
flooding threat such as a fallen tree in public right of way. MSD will not be responsible to remove typical debris or branches
that are not considered a flooding hazard.
• No Response Calls - MSD will not respond to some stormwater calls as they are not considered part of the Public Stormwater
System, and therefore, MSD will not maintain these items. These include:
o Detention and Retention Basins – these are considered private and their maintenance is the responsibility of the
subdivision or neighborhood.
o Maintenance and/or Cleaning of roadside ditches, bridges and roadway or driveway culverts - These structures are not
MSD’s responsibility and typically fall to the municipality or private homeowner.
o Sink Holes - MSD will not clean natural sinkholes, sinkholes improved with non-standard structures, or portions of
improved sinkholes below the public structure.
o Missouri State Highway Department - MSD will not maintain any storm sewers located on State right-of-way unless
they are integral parts of the Public Stormwater System.
o Swales- MSD will not maintain swales.
o Trench Drains – MSD will not maintain trench drains.
234
o Weeds – MSD only cuts weeds on property owned by MSD, and not on easements.
3.4 System Renewal and Repair: Continued system renewal and repair is an essential part of keeping the Public Stormwater System
functioning properly. Many system improvements and repairs are identified as a result of MSD preventative inspection program as
well as customer investigations. These may include pipe renewal, inlet repair or rehabilitation, small system additions as well as
improved channel repairs. Some jobs may be performed internally with District Staff and others contracted through the MSD
Engineering Department’s Infrastructure/Repair program. Engineering has a number of engineers and field crews that manage and
inspect these repairs.
MSD will renew and repair Public Stormwater Systems. Private Stormwater Systems are the responsibility of the property owner.
Non-dedicated Stormwater Systems may be eligible for improvement if the property owners are willing to give easements and
dedicate the stormwater system to the District. Repair and Renewal monies are limited and repairs are performed on a priority basis,
based on need, cost and public benefit.
3.5 Capital Improvement Projects: MSD does not collect a District-wide source of funding for stormwater capital improvement
projects.
4.0 Disputes
In the event a dispute arises as to whether a particular stormwater sewer system, facility, structure, asset or feature or any part thereof
should be maintained, repaired, or replaced by the District pursuant to this Policy, the decision of the District’s Executive Director
shall be final. Any person or persons jointly or severally aggrieved by such decision may appeal such decision in the manner provided
for in Section 12.110 of the District's Plan.
235
MSD Project Clear is the initiative to improve water quality and
alleviate many wastewater concerns in the St. Louis region. It will
invest billions of dollars over a generation in planning, designing,
and building community rainscaping, system improvements, and an
ambitious program of maintenance and repair.
