owners of real property in the Missouri Bottoms Service Area of

Trustees, such private construction is in the public interest, and
further providing for the recovery of additional construction
costs for the construction of said sewerage facility.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT:
Section One. Any owner or owners of real property
within The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District who proposes or
propose to construct a sewerage facility which will serve other
properties within the watershed may make application to the
District for the private construction of said sewerage facility at
such time or prior to the approval of the plans for said sewerage
facility by the District to recover additional construction costs
under the terms of the Ordinance. Upon receipt of such
application, the Board of Trustees shall decide whether or not it
is in the public interest to proceed under Article IX of the Plan
of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, or under the
provisions of this Ordinance.

Section Two. When the Board of Trustees finds that it
is in the public interest to proceed with the private construction
of the sewerage facility under the terms of this Ordinance, the
Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer shall have the power to
contract with owners of real property for the construction of the
sewerage facility within the boundaries of The Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District to serve the area in which the real property
of such owners is located, and such other area as can be
efficiently served or drained by the sewerage facility to be
constructed. Said contract shall not become binding until
approved by the Board of Trustees of The Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District. Said contract shall provide for the dedication of
the sewerage facility to the District for public use upon
completion and approval by the District of said sewerage facility.
Said contract shall further provide for the recovery of a
proportionate amount of the complete costs of such construction
incurred by the contracting owners of real property from such
other owners of real property within the area served by such
sewerage facility who directly tap into or use the facility to
deposit waste water therein. The amount of such reimbursement by
such other property owners shall be based upon the schedule of
payments set forth in Paragraphs A through D of Section 4 of this
Ordinance. The aforesaid contract shall be subject to such
reasonable rules and regulations as the Executive Director may
provide with the approval of the Board of Trustees of The
3
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District.
Section Three. Plans and specifications and a minimum
of three sealed bids for the proposed construction of any sewerage
facility to be constructed under the provisions of this Ordinance
must be submitted to and receive the approval of the District
before a construction permit will be issued by the District. The
regular inspection during construction as well as final inspection
by the District shall be performed on all construction undertaken
under the provisions of this Ordinance. The costs actually
expended for labor and materials, overhead, obtaining rights-of-
way, inspection fees, permit fees, insurance, bond premiums, legal
fees, engineering fees, and other costs essential to the
construction of the sewerage facility shall be furnished to the
District for approval. The Executive Director shall examine these
costs and upon his approval, as rendered or as adjusted, they
shall be certified by him as the complete construction costs of
the sewerage facility.
Any person objecting to the amount of the complete
certified construction costs of the sewerage facility, as approved
by the Executive Director, may appeal to the Board of Trustees of
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District by filing, in writing,
with the Secretary of said Board the specific objections to said
costs. Upon receiving such application for appeal, the Board of
Trustees will fix a day when it will consider the matter and give
notice thereof to the builder of the sewerage facility, or his
4
agent, if they are appealing, or to any other person making the
appeal, by registered mail at least ten days prior to the hearing
on said appeal. At the time fixed, the Board will hear the
parties interested and after consideration of all the facts, will
fix the certified complete costs of the sewerage facility.
Section Four. Upon the approval of the complete
construction cost of the sewerage facility, the District shall
determine the total area served by such facility.
If any area is served by two or more such sewerage
facilities constructed under the provisions of this Ordinance
under separate agreements, the per lot charge under each agreement
shall be divided proportionately between the builders of the
facilities based upon the ratio of the actual costs of each
portion of sewerage facility to the sum of the total actual cost
under all agreements where the sewerage facility has been
completed at that time as determined hereunder.
To determine the share of the construction cost which
shall be paid as per lot charge before connecting any tract or
