WHEREAS, the forces of nature have combined to inflict
upon the St. Louis metropolitan area one of the greatest natural
disasters ever to hit this region, the Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers' flood of 1993; and
WHEREAS, this flood is of such magnitude that many
homes have become inundated with floodwater, forcing their
occupants to find other shelter, and creating a hardship for many
families and individuals; and
WHEREAS, many businesses have closed due to flooding,
disrupting the St. Louis economy, and causing workers to lose pay,
and owners to lose revenue; and
WHEREAS, these citizens and businesses face continued
hardship and inconvenience due to the continued flooding, and
WHEREAS, The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
wishes to take whatever action it can to help ease this crisis on
individuals, families and businesses.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT, THAT in recognition
of the hardship and inconvenience the Great 1993 Flood has caused
and continues to cause, the District does hereby waive payment of
sewer bills for those customers that either had their homes or
businesses flooded, or who had to leave because of the threat of
rising water until the properties are reoccupied.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Board of Trustees will
continue to closely monitor this situation and take whatever
appropriate action is necessary to assist our customers during
this flood crisis.
The foregoing Resolution was adopted September 8, 1993.
