WHEREAS, the Plan of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer.
District authorizes the District to take title to and operate and
maintain all public sewers within its boundaries, and
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 3205, adopted March 23, 1977,
the District has called for an election to determine if the voters
of most of the remainder of St. Louis County wish to be annexed to
it, and the Board of Trustees wishes to express its policies in
regard to dedication and acceptance of public sewers now belonging
to other public bodies, as well as privately owned sewers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT that the following
policy is hereby adopted:
1. The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District would
assume responsibility for operation and maintenance only if local
elected officials dedicated the public sewers to the District and
The Metropolitan St. Louis District's Board of Trustees voted to
accept them.
2. That any and all private sewers may be dedicated
to and accepted by the District in the manner currently in effect,
which is that such sewers will be inspected by the District, and
if in reasonably satisfactory condition, dedicated to the District
by deed and accepted therefor by the Executive Director.
3. It is not anticipated that The Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District will assume immediate control over stormwater
in the area to be annexed. However, The Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District will provide planning services and will work with
local municipal authorities and other organizations and groups to
coordinate stormwater drainage programs where these services are
requested. The foregoing Resolution was adopted April 27, 1977.
