Section One, Ordinance No. 769 as adopted June 11, 1962, is hereby
amended by adoption of three new sections to be known as Section
Two, Section Eight and Section Nine of Ordinance No. 769. Such
new sections shall read as follows:
"Section Two. For the purposes provided in Section One
hereof, the charges hereinafter set forth shall be collected from
all real property, whether public or private, having an active

sewer connection with the sewerage system of the Coldwater Creek
Trunk Subdistrict of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District or
otherwise discharging sewage, industrial wastes, water or other
liquids either directly or indirectly into said sewerage system or
otherwise permitting such discharged substances to enter said
sewerage system.
Said charges shall be collected from each lot or parcel
of land according to its use in the following amounts:
(A) Having a single-family residence located thereon,
$14.00 per each six months period beginning July 1,
1963;
(B) Having a multi-family dwelling thereon, $10.50 per

"The above charges shall apply to any lot or parcel of land
3
or premises having an active sewer connection with the sewerage
system of the Coldwater Creek Trunk Subdistrict, or otherwise dis-
charging sewage, industrial wastes, water or other liquids, either
directly or indirectly into said sewerage system or which
ultimately enters said sewerage system. Such charges shall
constitute a lien on the real property charged on the date a bill
therefor is rendered. Charges against public property shall be
paid as provided in Section 3.020 (16) of the Plan of The
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District."
"Section Eight. If the charges provided hereinabove in
Section Two are not paid within fifteen (15) days after the date
any bill therefor is rendered then an additional delayed payment
charge equal to fifteen per cent (15%) of the amount of the bill
rendered is hereby imposed and shall be collected."
"Section Nine. When the charges set forth in Section
Two and Section Eight are unpaid after ninety (90) days from the
date the bill for the basic charges was rendered then the amount
overdue may be collected by either or both of two procedures: (A)
by suit or other proceedings in any court of competent
jurisdiction; and (B) by enforcement of the lien provided
hereinabove in Section Two. Proceedings for the enforcement of
said lien shall be begun by the filing of notice thereof in the
Office of the Recorder of Deeds within and for the City of St.
Louis or St. Louis County, as may be appropriate. If the
Executive Director so directs, a copy of such notice may be mailed
to the reputed owner of the land charged and the filing of such
4
notice in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds may be deferred as a
matter of grace for not more than fifteen days from the mailing
date.
Whenever such notice of lien has been so filed, the
owner of the property thereby charged may secure the release of
said lien upon payment to the District of all unpaid charges on
such property, plus interest at the rate of six per cent (6%) per
annum on such charges from the penalty date set hereinabove in
Section Eight to the date of payment, and plus the fees of the
Recorder of Deeds for filing such notice of lien and releasing the
same."
Section Three. An emergency exists within the meaning
of the Plan, since this is a revenue measure serving a remedial
purpose and such revenue is necessary for the preservation of the
public health. Accordingly, this ordinance shall take effect
immediately upon its enactment.
