Dear Rate Commission,
I do not understand why I am being asked to pay more for my sewer bill to fix the combined storm and waste water
system in an area that I do not live. However when it comes to storm water charges, by living in the "red area," I will be
required to pay more a year for storm water, than the people who live in an area that my sewer bill will dramatically
increase to fix their sewers.
Don't ask me to pay to fix their sewers, if I have to pay more for storm -water service. My storm -water travels about 500
feet to get into a stream that drains into the Meramec River. If MSD wants to have different tiers for storm water
service, then they can have different tiers for waste water and pass the cost of building a tunnel under the river Des
Peres to the residents of the city of St. Louis, and not to county residents who will get raped on storm water charges
compared to them.
It's not my fault that they choose to live in an area with combined sewers. Now I'm being priced out of the county
because my sewer bill increases more than any other utility 1 have.
Thank you,
Noah Poeling
