Board of Trustees
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
2350 Market Street
St. Louis, MO 63103
Dear Trustees:
The mission of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) is to protect the public’s health and safety, and water environment, by
responsibly providing wastewater and stormwater management. In fulfilling our mission, we focus on delivering sound fiscal
management and fostering a business-focused culture throughout the organization.
As MSD continues to make progress on the multi-decade Consent Decree in fiscal year 2025 (FY25), we will remain focused on several
key areas of overall operations, while being fiscally responsive to the needs of the St. Louis region:
STRATEGIC BUSINESS AND OPERATING PLAN – MSD’s management is committed to running this utility like a business. A key
aspect of this effort is MSD’s Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP). The FY25 SBOP is easily understood, the goals and
resulting strategies are actionable, and the impact of the strategies is measurable. It is a business-focused blueprint for serving our
customers now and into the future. It is a plan that puts the customers and the St. Louis community first. The SBOP goals are clear:
x Deliver consistent, high-quality customer service,
x Comply with all legal and regulatory requirements and schedules,
x Minimize customer rate increases; and
x Be accountable to the St. Louis community.
The FY25 SBOP continues a philosophy that intimately links budgetary expenditures and strategic goals. Under this philosophy, the
goals and strategies of the SBOP drive budgetary expenditures and succinctly support the SBOP’s success. Further, the budgetary
expenditures for the SBOP are business focused and ultimately serve the customer. These goals build on the public input and feedback
that the District has received.
1
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT – Each department prepares a base budget that covers funding for its day-to-day operations, and an
incremental budget for strategic activities that are to be implemented throughout the budget year. A detailed budget review process
ensures an in-depth review of all budgetary requests. If fiscal constraints require reduced funding, the costs of strategic objectives are
identified so that proper decisions can be made.
BUDGET SUMMARY – As the incoming Executive Director of MSD, I affirm that rates and charges as currently implemented will
generate sufficient revenues to meet all expenditures as proposed in the FY25 budget, providing adequate operating liquidity as
directed in MSD's Debt Management Policy. Furthermore, current rates and charges are adequate to ensure MSD’s compliance with
all obligations as provided in the Master Bond Ordinance, adopted by the Trustees on April 22, 2004.
The proposed FY25 operating budget includes $260.0 million for day-to-day operations, reflecting a $9.8 million or 3.9% increase over
the FY24 budget. The total District budget for FY25 is $1,168.0 million, which includes the operating budget, Capital Improvement and
Replacement Program (CIRP), and debt service. The proposed budget includes an increase of 1 full-time employee (FTE).
Proposed expenditures for the FY25 budget are summarized as follows:
Operating $ 260.0 million
CIRP $ 612.7 million
Debt Service $ 295.3 million
TOTAL EXPENSE BUDGET $1,168.0 million
Versus costs presented to the Rate Commission, the operating budget for FY25 is projected to be 2.1% more than originally planned;
and the CIRP budget for FY25 is projected to be 9.5% higher than originally planned.
The proposed FY25 budget for wastewater user charges is approximately $516.3 million, which is $16.8 million or 3.4% more than the
amount projected from the rates recommended by the Rate Commission and approved by the MSD Board of Trustees. Relative to the
Rate Proposal projections, the debt service expenses will be lower by $8.8 million, or 6.0%, primarily due to fewer projects being started
in FY25 than originally planned.
KEY BUDGET FACTORS AND UPDATES
MSD PROJECT CLEAR® – In 2007, the State of Missouri and the United States Environmental Protection Agency filed a lawsuit
against MSD regarding overflows. The Missouri Coalition for the Environment later joined the lawsuit as an intervener.
Throughout MSD’s service area, there are hundreds of points where a combination of stormwater and wastewater discharges into local
waterways from the sewer system during moderate to heavy rainstorms. Sewer overflow points act as relief valves when too much
2
stormwater enters the sewer system, and without them, communities could experience thousands of basement backups and/or
extensive street flooding.
In April 2012, the United States Federal Court approved an agreement known as a Consent Decree bringing the lawsuit to a close.
This was amended by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on June 22, 2018. The agreement calls for
$7.2 billion (in 2023 dollars) in improvements to the wastewater system over the next two decades. The FY25 capital budget continues
MSD’s ongoing execution of the Consent Decree.
Knowing that robust and simplified communications would be critical to the success of the Consent Decree, MSD launched MSD
Project Clear (MSDPC). MSDPC covers all Consent Decree activities and communications with stakeholders. Therefore, MSDPC is a
multi-billion-dollar, multi-decade initiative to plan, design, and build system-wide improvements to address water quality and alleviate
many wastewater concerns in the St. Louis region. MSDPC focuses on system-wide improvements to get the rain out, repair and
maintain, and build system improvements. Projects range in scale from massive underground tunnels that carry the volume of
wastewater needed in a growing region, to the disconnection of residential downspouts from the sanitary sewer lines, and rainscaping
improvements to manage stormwater runoff.
MSD PROJECT CLEAR UPDATES – In FY23, MSD repaired, rehabilitated and/or replaced 39 miles of sewers. To date over the life
of the consent decree, MSD has repaired, rehabilitated and/or replaced 1,352 miles of sewer.
MSD also removed 15 SSOs (sanitary sewage overflow) in 2023, and has a total of 25 remaining as of December 31, 2023. Since
2014, MSD has eliminated 124 constructed SSOs.
Total appropriations for consent decree compliance in FY23 was approximately $229 million. Since 2012 MSD has spent $2.7 billion
on consent decree compliance.
RAINSCAPING / GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE – As part of the amendment of the Consent Decree, MSD also agreed to invest at least
$20 million in green infrastructure in the Lemay Service Area/River Des Peres Watershed, reducing untreated overflow volume to the
River Des Peres. This is in addition to the existing $100 million program within the Bissell Point watershed, which is predominantly
served by the combined sewer system (sewers that collect stormwater and wastewater).
The rainscaping program includes:
x Up to $15 million is being used to demolish hundreds of abandoned, structurally condemned buildings that present a threat to
public health and safety in the City of St. Louis. These demolitions reduce impervious surface area, which lessens the burden
placed on the combined sewer system during moderate to heavy rainstorms. In FY23, approximately $365,000 was spent. As
of January 2024, nearly $14 million has been spent.
x The Large-Scale Rainscaping Program continues to build partnerships with municipalities, schools, community development
organizations, private developers, and others. These partnerships help identify joint opportunities to incorporate rainscaping
3
into ongoing development and other activities in the Mississippi and River Des Peres watersheds. In the Mississippi watershed,
the program plans to spend $5 million in FY24 and the same amount in FY25. In the River Des Peres watershed, the program
plans to spend $3 million in FY24 and $2 million in FY25.
x The Small Grants Rainscaping Program encourages homeowners, neighborhood groups, and other organizations to apply for
grants, in the Mississippi and River Des Peres watersheds where they are eligible for up to $4,000. The remainder of the MSD
service area is eligible for up to $3,000. These grants are designed to help MSD customers utilize raingardens, bioretention
cells, pervious pavement, green roofs, and other rainscaping techniques at their home or business.
The Small Grants Rainscaping Program has traditionally relied solely on in-person meetings to explain the program requirements
and answer questions. Now, interested participants can also find the information in a series of videos that can be viewed online and
take a quiz at the end to fulfill the program requirements. The program plans to spend $740,000 in FY24, and the same amount in
FY25.
WASTEWATER PROJECTS – In FY23, MSD planned 105 new or continuing wastewater projects, throughout the service area,
totaling $393.1 million. 104 went to the Board and the remaining project was continued to FY24. In FY25, MSD has plans for 10
new or continuing wastewater projects, throughout the service area, totaling $571 million. These projects are funded primarily from the
Sanitary Replacement Fund and bond sales. The work represents $58 million in continued projects and $513 million in new projects.
STORMWATER PROJECTS - In FY23, MSD planned 29 stormwater projects, totaling $23.8 million. 27 appropriations were made,
with two projects continued to FY24. If Proposition S doesn’t pass, MSD tentatively plans 25 stormwater projects in FY25, including
continuing projects from FY23, totaling $41.1 million.
BOND UTILIZATION & RATINGS – Since FY04, MSD has utilized voter approved bonds to lessen the steepness of necessary rate
increases. While bonds must be repaid with interest, the dollars raised through their issuance has helped maintain the
relative affordability of MSD rates.
Proceeds from the issuance of bonds must be – and can only be – used to finance wastewater projects that are a part of MSD’s
Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (CIRP).
Through bond elections in 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2021 area voters have approved a total of $3.12 billion in bond authorizations.
As of December 31, 2023, $3.9 million in bond authorization remains to be utilized.
Thanks to strong financial operations; an experienced management staff; strong management and planning capabilities for the
CIRP; and strong voter support for the bond authorizations, MSD enjoys some of the highest bond ratings received by any sewer
utility in the United States. The current ratings are: Moody’s - Aa1; Standard & Poor’s – AAA; Fitch – AA+. These strong ratings allow
MSD to issue bonds at lower interest rates, which in-turn lowers the costs that are passed on to MSD customers.
4
RATE COMMISSION – The independent MSD Rate Commission was established in 2000 through voter approved amendments to
MSD’s Charter. Composed of 15 member organizations that represent a broad cross-section of MSD’s customers and the
community it serves; the Rate Commission is designed to provide public input into how rates are set. By Charter, MSD staff is
required to submit all rate proposals to the Rate Commission. In turn, the Rate Commission independently reviews rate
proposals and makes recommendations to MSD’s Board of Trustees. Only under parameters defined in MSD’s Charter
can Rate Commission recommendations be changed, modified, or rejected.
In March 2023, MSD staff submitted the 2023 Wastewater and Stormwater Rate Change Proposal to the Rate Commission. Per MSD’s
Charter, Rate Commission proceedings may take up to 165 days from the date MSD staff submits a rate change proposal for
review and consideration. From June – August 2023, the Rate Commission held 14 public meetings to ensure that MSD customers
and the public at large had ample opportunity to register their opinions on the proposal. During this time, the Rate Commission also
reviewed numerous exhibits, discovery requests and discovery request responses. The Rate Commission presented the Board of
Trustees with a Rate Recommendation Report that was accepted in November 2023. Propositions for both wastewater (Prop W)
and stormwater (Prop S) will appear on the April 2, 2024 ballot. Proposition W offers voters the choice between paying upfront in
cash or paying with a mix of cash and bonds to fund the District’s Capital Improvement and Replacement program. Proposition S
would create the first regional stormwater improvement program in MSDPC’s service area. It is a response to thousands of requests
for help to deal with the growing number of stormwater problems like flooding and erosion in every part of the St. Louis region.
DIVERSITY – Diversity efforts at MSD continue to focus on helping develop and grow minority-and women-owned business enterprises
(MWBE); and to develop a diverse workforce from which contractors can hire workers for MSD projects. In FY23, minority firms
performed $46.7 million in capital work, which represents 37.32% of MSD’s capital program. Women-owned firms performed $9.2
million in capital work, representing 7.41% of MSD’s capital program. Minority-owned design firms (professional services)
accounted for $7.1 million or 44.67% of payments made to design firms, and women-owned design firms were paid $3 million or
18.79% of payments made to design firms in FY23.
Within the same timeframe, minority construction workforce participation was 158,956 hours, or 27.91% of the total hours worked
on capital projects. Women construction workforce participation was 38,835 hours, or 6.82% of total hours worked on capital pro jects.
For capital program professional services (design) with workforce participation goals, minorities represented 10.6% and
women represented 34.13% of the workforce.
In FY24, new workforce guidelines for MWBE were implemented as part of updating the program based on the results of the
Disparity Study. Building and non-building construction guidelines changed from 30% minority and 7% women to 37% minority and
11% women. Construction apprentice guidelines increased from 40% minorities and women to 46%. Engineering design and
professional services guidelines grew from 18% minority and 32% women to 31% minority and 37% women.

As MSD continues the important work we are doing to protect our environment and serve our St. Louis community, we continue to
strive to ensure that our efforts reflect the diverse citizenry that we serve.
We will continue to improve our customer service levels and inform the community of our operations and needs. We will persist in
addressing the health, safety, and environmental needs we face today and years into the future.
Sincerely,
Bret Berthold, P.E.

Revenue Policies (continued)Compliance Performance Against Policy
The District will follow an aggressive policy of collecting
revenues.√
The District uses a multi-layeredapproachto collecting
past due accounts. It employs a series of automated
reminder calls to accounts that are 25 days delinquent.
Accounts that remain delinquent then progress to
being placed with collection agencies, second
placement agencies and eventually law firms for
collection.
The District will establish wastewater user charges and
stormwater user charges, fees and tax rates at a level
related to the full cost (operating, direct, indirect and
capital) of providing the service. Voter approval is required
to implement tax rate increases.
√
The District is required to submit rate change
proposals to a Rate Commission. During this rate
setting process, the District’s rate consultant
performed a detailed cost of service analysis using
industry standard principles endorsed by the Water
Environment Federation which allows the District to
demonstrate that rates have been set at a level to
recover the full cost, without excess, of providing
service.
The District will review wastewater fees and stormwater
user charges, and fees annually to determine if the
revenues support the cost of the service. Rate increases
to generate needed revenues are required, per Charter
Section 7.040, to be submitted to the District’s Rate
Commission for review and recommendation to The Board.

Debt Policies (continued)Compliance Performance Against Policy
The District may issue long-term debt (general obligation
or revenue bonds) where it is deemed that capital
improvements should not be financed from current
revenues. Long-term borrowing will not be used to finance
current operations or normal maintenance. Long-term debt
will be self-supporting and structured such that the
weighted average maturity of the debt does not exceed the
expected useful life of the capital project.
√
The District’s use of revenue bonds during FY24 was
consistent with use of debt outlined in the Rate
Change Report accepted by The Board in October
2019. The proceeds from these bonds were or will be
used solely for capital improvements where the assets
gained have a useful life greater than the weighted
average maturity of the debt.
The District may issue (1) general obligation bonds to
finance capital improvement projects that result in
community-wide benefits (2) revenue bonds to finance
capital improvement projects serviced from the net
revenues from a particular enterprise, such as sewer
service.
√
The District’s use of revenue bonds in FY24 for capital
improvement projects will be serviced with pledged
revenues from sanitary sewer user charges.
Issuance of general obligation bonds requires 57%
approval of those voting at primary and general elections
and a 67% approval at other elections. Issuance of
revenue bonds requires simple majority approval of those
voting.
√
The District currently has $3.9 million of debt
authorization remaining under previous voter
authorizations. In April 2024 the District will ask voters
to approve an additional $750 million of authorization
to fund future capital work.
No general obligation bonds shall be issued in an amount,
which together with existing indebtedness of the District or
a subdistrict exceeds in the aggregate 5% of the value of
all taxable tangible property in the District and its
subdistricts.

Short-term borrowing may be utilized as authorized by
District Charter, Section 3.020(13), for the temporary
funding of capital projects or for operational cash flow
deficits subject to the following policies:
District may issue short-term debt when there is a
defined and adequate repayment source.
Lines of Credit may be considered as an alternative to
other short-term borrowing options if it is determined to be
more cost-effective.
Other short-term debt, including commercial paper
notes, may be used when it provides an interest rate
advantage or as interim financing until market conditions
are more favorable for long-term debt issuance.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
The District’s financial structure is organized based on funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with fund specific
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balances, revenues, and expenditures. Governmental resources are allocated
to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled.
The District uses both Governmental Funds and Proprietary Funds. The District uses a Modified Accrual method of budgeting, and both
Modified Accrual and Accrual bases of accounting.
In the table below, each fund type and group are identified. The purpose of the fund is stated, and the Budgeting Basis and Accounting
Basis are also reported for each fund group.
Modified Accrual Accounting or Budgeting recognizes revenues when they are
both available and measurable. Most expenditures are recognized when an
obligation to pay is established, except in the case of interest on long‐term debt.
That interest expense is recognized when it is due.
Full Accrual Accounting is very similar to Modified Accrual Accounting. Under Full
Accrual revenues are recognized when earned, and expenditures are recognized
when an obligation to pay is established.
However, the major ways in which Modified Accrual is different than Full Accrual is
the recognition of Capital expenditures. Under the Modified Accrual method,
Capital expenditures are recognized when the entity has an obligation to pay.
Under the Full Accrual method, Capital expenditures are recognized over the life of
the asset.

current Special Funds consist of the following:
1. Improvement Fund – to account for the cost of any improvements
and special tax bills issued for any improvement.
2. Water Backup Insurance and Reimbursement Fund – to account
for customer water backup insurance claims resulting from over
charged lines or blocked mains.
3. General Insurance Fund – to be used to pay the cost of workers’
compensation claims, property insurance, general liability, auto
liability, flood insurance and all expenses (i.e., premiums, claims,
claim expenses, claim recoveries, and claim accruals) related to
these coverages.
4. Two Emergency Funds – to account for monies needed to address
Wastewater and Stormwater emergencies. Such emergencies
require immediate District response. Examples are sewer repairs
and replacements to immediately address severe disruption in the
operations and maintenance of the District, weather related
disruption of District operations, and other disruptions of District
services caused by dramatic unforeseen events.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS AND OPERATING PLAN
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Strategic Business and Operating Plan (SBOP) is a business-focused blueprint for serving our ratepayers now and into the future. It is
a plan that puts the ratepayers and the St. Louis community first. The SBOP's goals are clear:
•Deliver consistent, high-quality customer service;
•Comply with all legal and regulatory requirements and schedules;
•Minimize customer rate increases; and
•Be accountable to the St. Louis community.
These goals build on the public input and feedback that the District has received since the first SBOP was introduced in 2001. While the FY 2024 goals may
appear similar to the original set of goals, the underlying refinements and changes in these goals are significant. The FY 2024 SBOP is easily understood, the
goals and resulting strategies are actionable, and the impact of the strategies is measurable. Additionally, the FY 2024 SBOP continues a philosophy that
intimately links budgetary expenditures and strategic goals. Under this philosophy, the goals and strategies of the SBOP drive budgetary expenditures and
succinctly support the SBOP's success. Further, the budgetary expenditures for the SBOP are business focused and ultimately serve the ratepayer.
To achieve these goals, the FY 2024 SBOP proposes six business-focused strategies:
Strategy 1: Inform, educate and partner to build stakeholder understanding.
An active dialogue between the District and stakeholders is essential to a mutual understanding of the St. Louis region's needs. Our education and outreach
efforts will focus on communicating the District's initiatives and how they will help achieve the goals that serve our greater mission. Understanding
communication is a two-way street, we will actively engage stakeholder groups and customers to achieve a better understanding of their needs and concerns,
and how we can best address those while meeting our commitments and carrying out our mission to protect the public's health, safety, and the water
environment.
Strategy 2: Manage the District's costs and revenues to optimize financial impacts.
The District continues to face increasing fiscal demands related to regulatory issues affecting its collection and treatment systems. In response to these
demands, the District is continuing its important work to protect local waterways, ensure compliance with State and Federal environmental regulations, and
provide effective, efficient wastewater and stormwater services to the St. Louis community. This work continues in the form of Project Clear, which includes
the District's multi-decade, multi-billion dollar Capital Improvement and Replacement Program (CIRP). It is essential the District diligently manage costs and
minimize rate increases. Sound financial management, long-term planning, internal audit practices, and leveraging of data are critical components of
this strategy.
26
Strategy 3: Integrate and improve the District's business processes.
Not accepting the status quo as justification for current and future business practices, and continually reviewing best practices amongst contemporaries are
cultural imperatives for continual improvement. The goal of this initiative focuses on identifying and implementing process improvements that will enable the
District to meet or exceed established performance, production and customer satisfaction goals.
Strategy 4: Promote appropriate standards through proactive regulatory and legislative involvement.
The most significant factors affecting current and future rate increases are federal and state regulations and legislation. It is often the case that implementation
of multiple regulations compete for the same, scarce funding resources. As authorities in wastewater and stormwater management, it is essential that we
assist in the creation of regulations that will efficiently achieve desired results. This strategy focuses on our involvement in the formation of regulations and
legislation that impact all areas of the District's operations. It is crucial that regulations and legislation be based on sound technical information and governance
frameworks. The District and others in the regulated community are in the best position to provide such information.
Strategy 5: Address customer and regulatory needs through a comprehensive infrastructure management program.
Maintaining customer service expectations and meeting regulatory requirements are paramount concerns within the District's mission. However, these must
be balanced against the need to cost effectively maintain the District's wastewater, stormwater, and supporting assets, including data and information
technology security. This can only be achieved through investigation, planning, maintenance, and capital replacement programs with continual consideration
for emerging technology. A model infrastructure management program effectively integrates these processes while considering risk and required service
levels. The resulting program minimizes the life-cycle costs of infrastructure assets at an acceptable level of risk, while continually delivering established levels
of service.
Strategy 6: Create a learning and business-oriented culture based on competency and accountability.
The District's success is dependent upon employees having appropriate competencies and skills within a culture of accountability: a culture that is rooted in
ethical integrity and seeks a balance between effectiveness, efficiency, and cost management. Improving employee and organizational performance at all
levels is the core of this strategy. Special emphasis will be placed on leadership development, management/supervisory skill training, open communications,
general operational and administrative needs, and building awareness of individual employee's role in the success of the overall organization.
FISCAL YEAR 2025 OBJECTIVES
The District has developed a set of specific objectives that support these strategies and, thus, achieve the goals of the Strategic Business and Operating Plan.
Objectives are segmented into "Year 1", "Year 2" and "Years 3-5" categories. Combined, these objectives make up the tactical blueprint that we will engage in
during FY 2025 and beyond, as we strive to protect the public's health, safety, and water environment by responsibly providing wastewater and stormwater
management.
Achieving these objectives is the responsibility of various departments within the District. These departments are shown on the following organizational chart:

BUDGET PROCESS FY25
The District’s SBOP is the key to the development of the Annual Budget. The SBOP process begins in July when all Departments are given the opportunity
to reassess goals, strategies and objectives and the means for accomplishing them. The budget serves as the tool to communicate the District’s long-term
plans and policies to the public, details the costs of services and programs and becomes the plan to accomplish the District’s goals and objectives during the
next fiscal year.
The budget process begins in early October with the projection of revenues (wastewater and stormwater user charges, investment & other income). District-
wide imperatives and budgetary parameters are established by Executive Management and The Board of Trustees (“The Board”). The imperatives for this
fiscal year include:
IMPERATIVES FOR FY25 STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN
STRATEGY OBJECTIVE
Base budgets, except for salaries, wages, and benefits, should remain at FY24 levels. All increases to current service
levels should be delayed if possible. Any proposed cost increases to accounts other than salaries, wages, and benefits
need to be justified as part of base budget submittals.
2 2
Any vacant positions to remain in the budget need individual submitted justifications for approval by the Executive Director. 2 2
No planned acceleration of Consent Decree projects. Acceleration of any projects during fiscal year only allowed after fiscal
review by senior management. 5 2
Department Directors and Managers begin budget development by providing an updated expenditure forecast for the remainder of FY24. A two step, zero-
based budgeting method is used to develop the FY25 budget. This method requires written justification as to need and purpose for all expenditures. The first
step is the preparation of a base budget that reflects the ongoing day-to-day operations of each Department. The second step is the preparation of an
incremental budget, which reflects costs associated with initiatives outlined in the SBOP. Throughout the budget development process, departmental staff is
required to evaluate programs and identify possible changes in services and staff positions. The Department Directors forward their proposed base budgets
to the Director of Finance for analysis. Cost benefit business cases are used to support incremental budgets submitted to the Executive Director for review.
The base budgets and requests for incremental funding are then compiled and further analyzed to ensure the preliminary budget meets the District’s needs,
priorities, goals and objectives without exceeding forecasted resources.
Any unresolved issues are presented to the Executive Director for a final decision. The recommended budget reductions and adjustments are then
incorporated. Per Charter a preliminary budget is delivered to the Board for review by March 14th. A series of budget presentations are given to the Board’s
Finance Committee to allow for more in-depth review by the Trustees.
55
BUDGET PROCESS FY25-continued
The Board’s recommended budget adjustments are incorporated into a final budget document. A proposed financial plan and an Executive Summary of the
budget are communicated to the public in the form of a public hearing. The public hearing is advertised in the newspapers at least three weeks before the
scheduled hearing to allow sufficient time for the public to review and ask questions. The Board is then required to adopt the budget, tax and rate ordinances
(if applicable) consistent with the District’s Charter and state law.
The District’s fiscal year begins on July 1st. Departments are accountable for budgetary control throughout the fiscal year. Expenditure patterns are examined
and compared to budget plans with variances reported. Responses to significant variances are required quarterly from each Department and reviewed by the
Director of Finance. Budget status is reviewed with senior staff monthly and is reported quarterly to The Board at its monthly Finance Committee meeting.
The Director of Finance reviews the District’s monthly financial statements and budget variance report ensuring the District’s actual revenue is sufficient to
support budgeted expenditures. Forecasted expenses are also compared to budget. The District’s operating budget is adopted at the Department level as
detailed in the District’s Budget Ordinance. Any transfers between Funds require Board approval. Budget transfers are made on an as-needed basis.
Expenditures for the CIRP are presented on an appropriated basis as opposed to a cash flow basis. The District’s accounting procedures require an adequate
budget to pay for planned Ordinances in the period in which an Ordinance is appropriated. All outstanding CIRP encumbrances remain open until a project is
completed.
In FY25 the District created the Stormwater Capital fund to deal with the growing number of stormwater problems like flooding and erosion in every part of the
St. Louis region. The money would come from two sources: A property tax for residential customers beginning in FY26 and an impervious surface fee paid by
non-residential customers beginning the middle of FY25. The estimated stormwater revenue for FY25 is $7.4 million.
A budget is developed for both revenues and expenses:
1. Revenue expectations are developed from trend analysis, incorporating upcoming rate increases and significant economic and policy factors.
FY25 Total Revenue: (shown in million $)
Wastewater User Charges: $516.3
Stormwater User Charges: 7.4
Revenue Bonds: 227.2
Taxes: 49.5
Investment and Other Income: 25.0
Increase of Fund Balances: 342.6
TOTAL DISTRICT REVENUE: $1168.0
2. Operating Expenses are developed using a zero-based budgeting method with written justification for all expenditures. The CIRP is developed by
the District’s Engineering Department based on the revenues forecasted for the coming year. Projects prioritized for the coming year are outlined in
a supplemental report in conjunction with the Operating Budget. Debt service for the District’s existing and forecasted use of bonds is developed by
the District’s Secretary-Treasurer’s Department and incorporated into the Operating Budget.

FY25 SOURCES OF FUNDING
USER CHARGES
The District has a Wastewater User Charge which is recorded in the Wastewater Revenue Fund. A portion of the revenue is transferred to the
General Fund to cover daily operating, maintenance and replacement costs; a portion is allocated to the Water Backup Insurance and
Reimbursement Fund to provide assistance to homeowners with damages resulting from blocked main and basement backups, a portion is
allocated to the General Insurance Fund to provide for workers’ compensation, property, general liability and other insurance expenditures, a
portion is allocated to the Wastewater Emergency Fund to provide emergency sewer repairs and replacements in the operation and maintenance
of the district and a portion is allocated to the Debt Service Funds to meet debt service requirements on outstanding bonds issued for capital
improvements. The remainder of the revenue is transferred to the Capital Improvement and Replacement Fund for construction projects and
emergencies. A chart detailing the flow of funds is also included in the following pages of the Budget Summary section.
Wastewater: Residential customers with metered water service will pay a billing and collection charge, a system availability charge and
a volume charge based on the most recent winter quarter water usage. Unmetered customers will pay the same charges except for a
volume charge. Unmetered volume is based on housing attributes such as the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures.
Non-residential customers will pay the same charges plus an additional compliance charge. Some non-residential customers will pay
extra strength surcharges for the treatment of wastewater containing suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand or chemical oxygen
demand exceeding normal wastewater strengths.
User Charges in the Wastewater Revenue Fund for FY25 is estimated at $516.3 million.
Stormwater: On April 2nd 2024, Proposition S would create the first regional stormwater improvement program in response to
thousands of request to deal with the growing number of stormwater problems like flooding and erosion in every part of the St. Louis
region. MSD Project Clear has identified more than 500 solutions across the service area. The money would come from two sources: A
property tax for residential customers and an impervious surface fee paid by non-residential customers. The estimated stormwater
revenue for FY25 is $7.4 million.
Other User Charges: Other User Charge revenue such as Late Fees, Lien Interest, Refunds and Account Adjustments are estimated
to be $1.4 million. This amount is net of a provision for doubtful accounts, or past-due customer bills that might go uncollected.
TOTAL WASTEWATER USER CHARGE REVENUE: The District’s total FY25 User Charge revenue is estimated to be $523.7 million.
61
FY25 SOURCES OF FUNDING-continued
The District provides an assistance program to customers who meet the eligibility requirements of income, age or disability. Those customers
who are eligible will receive a credit equal to 50% of their sewer service charge bill. A composite schedule of the budgeted Wastewater and
Stormwater user charge revenue by customer class can be found in the pages of the Revenue Funds Section.
REVENUE BONDS
The District plans to receive approximately $227.2 million in bond and loan proceeds in FY25. These proceeds are expected to be derived from
$65.6 million Wastewater System Senior Revenue for capital improvement projects and $5 million from the State of Missouri SRF direct loan
program. Additional bond proceeds of $133.6 million from Proposed Direct Purchase of Refunding Bonds will be used to refund 2011B
Wastewater System Senior Revenue. There are premiums associated with Proposed Senior Debt and Refunding Direct Loan in the amount of
$23.0 million.
Prior to a November 2000 Charter change, the District was unable to issue revenue bonds as a source of funding its CIRP. Almost all the
District’s capital expenditures were funded from annual cash flow, known as Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) funding. Continuation of a PAYGO
approach as the District’s sole funding option would have required significant rate increases to generate the necessary annual capital funding.
PAYGO is the lowest cost funding source due to its avoidance of the financing and interest costs associated with long term debt. The primary
negatives associated with PAYGO funding include: 1) the short-term impact on customer rates, and 2) the mismatch between the cost and
benefit of the District’s capital infrastructure to the users. In the case of capital projects that have a long-life expectancy, PAYGO funding causes
today’s customers to pay for an asset that will be used by tomorrow’s customers for many years. Financing a portion of the capital program with
bonds is an excellent way to distribute the cost of long-term assets to the future customers who will benefit from the use of the assets and lessen
the impact of short-term rate increases.
It is typically considered good public policy to allocate a portion of the cost of long-term assets to future users by the use of debt. At the same
time, prudent fiscal policy would not allow 100% debt financing. The goal is to strike the correct balance between the distribution of the cost of
long-term assets to the users that benefit from them and maintaining healthy financial ratios.
62
FY25 SOURCES OF FUNDING-continued
AD VALOREM TAXES
The District’s budget for tax revenue in FY25 totals $49.5 million. During FY25 all taxpayers within the District’s boundaries will be assessed a
$0.0162(one point sixty-two cents) per $100 of assessed valuation tax levy to pay primarily for stormwater services required by State and
Federal regulations. Except for taxpayers living in certain levy districts, all taxpayers within the District will also be assessed a $0.0835 (eight
point thirty-five cents) per $100 of assessed valuation tax levy to pay for the District’s non-regulatory stormwater costs. This tax revenue of
approximately $38.8 million is recorded in the Stormwater Regulatory Fund ($6.5 million) and the Districtwide Stormwater Fund ($32.3 million)
of the District.
Other property tax rates were suspended within the District’s boundaries beginning in FY17. All subdistrict taxes previously collected within
these boundaries are held in the OMCI fund balances and must be used primarily for stormwater capital improvements and stormwater operating
expenses within the specific subdistrict boundaries in which the taxes were collected. However, in FY21 the District reinstated six of the tax
levies and one additional in FY24 totaling $10.7 million in FY25 to provide funding for stormwater capital projects for Subdistrict No. 367 (Deer
Creek Stormwater Subdistrict) in the amount of $4.3 million, Coldwater Creek Trunk Subdistrict in the amount of $2.2 million, newly added
Gravois Creek Trunk Subdistrict in the of $1.7 million, Subdistrict No. 366 (University City Branch of River des Peres Stormwater Subdistrict) in
the amount of $1.1 million, Maline Creek Trunk Subdistrict in the amount of $0.8 million, Subdistrict No. 454 (Seminary Branch of River des
Peres) in the amount of $0.3 million and Subdistrict No. 369 (Sugar Creek Stormwater Subdistrict) in the amount of $0.3 million. The detailed
taxes rates are included in the tax ordinance section.

Investment Income and Other Fees will fund $25.0 million of the Budget. Investment income of approximately $4.3 million is anticipated.
Connection fees are expected to generate $3.6 million based on a flat rate per connection to the sanitary system. These revenue estimates are
based on previous experience, current economic conditions and anticipated new home construction. Miscellaneous income of approximately
$16.5 million is expected, $14.6 million relates to state grant, $1.5 million of court awarded court costs and attorney fees, reimbursement of
district costs totaling $126 thousand, $9 thousand for sale of scrap and the remainder offset of $6 thousand of miscellaneous income. Rental
income is expected to generate $0.4 million. Finally, $0.2 million is expected to be generated from the sale of property.
FUND BALANCES
These sources of funding will result in a fund balance decrease of $342.6 million during FY25.

STORMWATER FUNDS
These funds were established to account for stormwater activites. The Stormwater
Regulatory Fund, Districtwide Stormwater Fund and the Stormwater Capital Fund are
reported in this section and receive, or at one time received, property tax revenues. The
proposed Stormwater Capital Fund will receive property tax revenues and impervious user
charges.
These are stormwater dedicated funds primarily for stormwater operations and
maintenance. As fund balances allow, a limited number of stormwater capital projects will
be charged to these funds.

These funds were established to account for proceeds from tax levies. Expenditures are
primarily forstormwatersewerimprovements andstormwatermaintenance andoperation.
Taxes collected in the various subdistricts must be spent within the subdistrict. Effective in
FY17, all subdistrict tax rates were voluntarily set to zero. Beginning in FY21, tax rates in six
of the subdistricts were reinstated, allowing stormwater projects to start. In addition, in the
FY23 budget, an OMCI fund for the Gravois Creek Trunk Subdistrict was reinstated. Fund
balances will be spent on either projects or maintenance and operation expense in the
respective subdistricts.

construction of improvements to sewerage and drainage collection systems and treatment
facilities.

implement the schedule of Wastewater User Charges as herein provided in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare and to
ensure the District's continued compliance with the Environmental Mandates.
Section Three. Wastewater User Charges.
(A) Metered Property.
(1) Each Metered Property shall be charged a Base Charge and a Volume Charge as set forth in Appendix I. The
226
Volume Charge shall be calculated separately for each Metered Property, using the most current determination of Contributed
Wastewater Volume. A minimum of 1 CCF per Metered Property, or per unit in the case of Multi-unit Residential Properties, will be
charged.
(2) Extra Strength Surcharges. Extra Strength Surcharges for the treatment of wastes containing Suspended Solids,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand or Chemical Oxygen Demand exceeding Normal Wastewater strengths are hereby established and shall
be billed to and collected from Non-residential Property Served by the Wastewater System at the rates for each User Account set forth
in Appendix I, and shall be collected in addition to the charges imposed by Subsections (1) and (3) hereof.
(a) A User shall be subject to Extra Strength Surcharges in any month if that User's water usage in such month
equals or exceeds eight thousand cubic feet.
(b) Each User subject to Extra Strength Surcharges shall submit to the District on forms supplied by the
District pursuant to the Sewer Use Ordinance, a certified statement setting forth the strength and volume of Wastewater discharged by
the User into the Wastewater System or into any sewer connected thereto. The data set forth in such statement shall be obtained from
samples collected in accordance with accepted procedures from the manhole or adequate place as described in the Sewer Use Ordinance
at a time period representative of normal operational conditions and analyzed utilizing Standard Test Procedures.
(c) Analytical data reported by the User discharging such Wastewater will be considered current for each
subsequent billing period until such data is reported inaccurate and replaced by updated certified data by said User. The results of routine
scheduled sampling and analyses by the District may be used in lieu of data reported by said User if such data is found to be not current
227
or in error.
(d) An Extra Strength Surcharge shall be collected from any User subject to Extra Strength Surcharges as
provided for herein for the discharge into the Wastewater System of Suspended Solids which average concentration exceeds 300
milligrams per liter or Biochemical Oxygen Demand which average concentration exceeds 300 milligrams per liter, with said Extra
Strength Surcharge calculated for each billing period according to the following formula, to wit:
0.00624 x V x [(SS-300) x RSS + (BOD-300) x RBOD]
ESS = 2000
(e) If the BOD/COD ratio of a User's Wastewater is equal to or less than 0.35 the BOD measurement may
not be considered representative of the User's actual Wastewater strength. The District may substitute Chemical Oxygen Demand which
average concentration exceeds 600 milligrams per liter, with said Extra Strength Surcharge calculated for each billing period according
to the following formula, to wit:
0.00624 x V x [(SS-300) x RSS + (COD-600) x RCOD]
ESS = 2000
In the above formulas the following terms shall mean:
ESS = Extra Strength Surcharges.
300 = Maximum concentration of total BOD in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
300 = Maximum concentration of total Suspended Solids in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
600 = Maximum concentration of total COD in Normal Wastewater in milligrams per liter.
228
0.00624 = Conversion factor for milligrams per liter to pounds per hundred cubic feet.
V = Volume of water usage or Wastewater discharged expressed in hundred cubic feet.
RSS = Rate for SS in dollars per ton.
RBOD = Rate for BOD in dollars per ton.
RCOD = Rate for COD in dollars per ton.
2,000 = The number of pounds per ton.
(f) All Extra Strength Surcharges shall be calculated separately for each Property using the Wastewater flow
proportioned average strength concentration for each strength parameter and the most current determination of Contributed Wastewater
Volume. No credit is given when the wastewater strength is less than normal wastewater.
(3) Non-residential Property Compliance Charge. A Compliance Charge shall be collected from all Non-residential
Property Served by the Wastewater System at the rate for each User Account as set forth in Appendix I and shall be collected in addition
to the charges imposed by Subsections (1) and (2) hereof.
(4) Registration of Unmetered Water Supply. In the event Property is supplied either in whole or in part with water
from wells or any source other than a public water supplier, then such wells or other source of supply shall be registered with the Director
of Finance of the District. If such supply serves Metered Property and is not measured by a water meter, or is measured by a water meter
not acceptable to the District, then in such case, the User, at the User's own expense shall install and maintain an Approved Meter
connected to such water supply. Whenever a new supplier or source of water other than a public water supplier shall be put into use by
229
Metered Property, such source of water shall be registered with the Director of Finance of the District within thirty (30) days.
(5) Metered Water Not Entering the Wastewater System. Where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the District
that a portion of the water as measured by an Approved Meter does not enter the Wastewater System, then the District is hereby
authorized to determine, in such manner and by such method as may be practicable, the percentage of the water measured by the
Approved Meter which enters the Wastewater System. In such case, Wastewater User Charges shall be based upon the percentage of
the metered water entering the Wastewater System. Additional Approved Meters may be required or permitted at the User's expense in
such manner as to measure the quantity of Contributed Wastewater Volume entering the Wastewater System from the Property of such
User. Applications requesting consideration for a reduction in the Wastewater Service Charge, because of water not entering the
Wastewater System, shall be made to the Director of Finance of the District, on forms provided by the District.
(6) Requirement of an Approved Meter for Non-Residential Property. All Non-Residential Property within the
District shall be connected to an Approved Meter. In the event Property within the District is owned by a municipality and is served by
water provided by such municipality and not connected to an Approved Meter, the District shall provide a method for estimating
Wastewater discharge by such Property which is fair and equitable, in lieu of connection to an Approved Meter, and shall bill such
municipality for Wastewater User Charges as provided for Metered Property pursuant to this Ordinance based on such estimated
Wastewater usage.
(B) Unmetered Residential Property. Each Unmetered Residential Property shall be charged a Base Charge and a
Room/Fixture Charge as set forth in Appendix I. Such charges shall be calculated separately for each Unmetered Residential Property
230
using the most current available data regarding the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property. The Director of Finance
shall determine the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property from the records of the City of St. Louis Water Division
or other public water suppliers, from the records of the Office of Assessor of the City of St. Louis or St. Louis County, or from on-site
inspection. A User of Unmetered Residential Property who considers the determination by the District of the number of rooms and
plumbing fixtures for which such User is billed Wastewater User Charges to be inaccurate or erroneous may appeal such determination
as herein provided.
(C) Right of Entry and Inspection. The District shall have the power to enter on any Property for the purposes of examining
the use made of its Wastewater System, the number of rooms and plumbing fixtures in such Property, the number and kind of plumbing
fixtures connected with such Wastewater System, and for the purpose of inspecting or reading the Approved Meter connected to such
Property. When such examination gives reason to believe that the usage of water on such Property places a burden on the Wastewater
System in excess of that for which the User of such Property is being billed, then the Wastewater discharged from such Property shall
be measured, at the expense of the User, by a water meter or meters or by a Wastewater flow meter or meters. If such measurement
shows that the flow of Wastewater is excessive, Wastewater User Charges shall be billed and collected for such measured usage as for
Metered Property.
(D) Application of Wastewater User Charge Revenues. All revenues collected from Wastewater User Charges shall be
segregated, credited and deposited in a Wastewater Revenue Fund to be established and maintained by the Director of Finance of the
District, and shall be used solely to pay for the costs of the operation (including billing, collections, administration and overhead), repair,
231
maintenance, improvement, renewal, replacement and reconstruction of the District's Wastewater System.
Section Four. Pollutants. Any User which discharges any Pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing the effluent
or sludge from the Wastewater System shall pay for such increased costs.
Section Five. Billing. All bills for Wastewater User Charges shall be prepared by the District and shall be issued monthly for
services provided in the preceding month.
(A) The issuance of any monthly bill may be delayed by the District for good cause.
(B) On or after May 1, 2004, the Wastewater User Charges shall be billed to the Owner or Owners of the Property Served by
the Wastewater System. Such Wastewater User Charges shall also constitute a personal obligation of any User regardless of to whom
the bill for Wastewater User Charges is sent and shall constitute a charge and a lien against the Property Served, whether or not
recorded with the Office of the Recorder of Deeds or a notice of lien has been served.
(C) For the District's convenience, all individual Wastewater User Charges may be combined with any other charges of the
District, and all such charges may be billed together. In the event of a change in Owner or User of Property or termination of Service
to Property during a billing period, application may be made to the Director of Finance of the District for a refund or proration of
Wastewater User Charges for such billing period.
(D) The Owner of Metered Residential Property containing more than one unit shall have the option of being charged on the
basis of Best Equated Period. The Owner may obtain an application for such change from the Director of Finance. Upon receipt of an
Application of Change in billing basis for said Property the change in billing will take effect not sooner than sixty days from receipt of
232
the application.
(E) Once an Owner of Metered Residential Property containing more than one (1) unit has elected to be charged on the basis
of Best Equated Period, that Owner shall not be permitted to again change.
(F) In the event Wastewater Service is being provided to any parcel of real Property and said parcel is being under-billed or
not being billed at all, the District shall have the authority to charge the Owner of said parcel retroactively for a period not to exceed
one and one-half (1½) years from the date of discovery.
(G) In the event said parcel is being over-billed by the District, and the current Owner of said parcel can verify such over-
billing, then the District shall refund the current Owner of the parcel any amount verified to be overpaid by said Owner.
(H) The District will not collect Wastewater User Charges from the Owner or User of real Property when it is known that
said real Property is connected to a septic tank. Upon notification from the Property Owner that certain real Property which is
connected to a septic tank is being billed by the District for Wastewater User Charges, upon verification, the District will refund to the
Owner any and all of said Wastewater User Charges so collected from said Owner.
Section Six. Charge for Late Payments. On or after July 1, 2009, any Wastewater User Charges billed that are not paid by the
due date indicated on any bill rendered shall bear a late payment charge equal to three-fourths of one percent (0.75%) per month, or nine
percent (9%) per annum, of the amount of the bill rendered and is hereby imposed for each month or portion thereof that the Wastewater
User Charges remain unpaid beyond the due date.
Section Seven. Wastewater User Charges Constitute a Lien. The Wastewater User Charges shall constitute a lien upon the
233
Property Served on the date a bill is rendered for Wastewater Service, whether or not recorded with the Office of the Recorder of Deeds
or a notice of lien has been served and said lien shall have the same priority as taxes levied for state and county purposes. The District
may cause a notice of lien for non-payment of such charges to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds within and for the
City of St. Louis or St. Louis County, depending upon where such Property Served is located. Such notice of lien shall state the
Wastewater User Charges due as of the date of recording and shall adequately describe the Property against which such lien is
asserted. On the date of recording, the lien applies to the current amount of all unpaid Wastewater User Charges, all subsequent unpaid
and delinquent Wastewater User Charges and other charges as described in Section Nine. A copy of such notice of lien shall be
mailed to the Owner of the Property at the last address on file with the District and the recording of such notice in the Office of the
Recorder of Deeds may be deferred as a matter of grace for not more than thirty (30) days from the mailing date. All Wastewater User
Charges that remain unpaid shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the lower of nine percent (9%) per annum or the maximum legal
rate from the time a notice of lien is recorded with the appropriate recorder of deeds as herein prescribed, until such time as the account
is brought current.
(A) After such notice of lien is recorded, all unpaid and delinquent Wastewater User Charges and all other unpaid charges
including charges of the Recorder for recording the lien and recording the release of said lien shall also be payable to the District as a
prerequisite to recording the release of said lien.
Section Eight. Termination of Service for Nonpayment. When any Wastewater User Charge has not been paid and has been
delinquent for a period in excess of three (3) months, the District is authorized to order the water supply to be shut off for the Property
234
for which the Wastewater User Charge is delinquent or to remove or close any sewer connections, or both, until payment of the
delinquent charge together with all reasonable costs involved in shutting off and turning on the water, or closing and reopening the
sewer connection, as the case may be, have been paid.
(A) When any Wastewater User Charge has not been paid and has been delinquent for more than fifteen (15) days after the
due date, then the District may refuse to issue to the Owner and/or User a permit to connect any other Property owned or controlled by
said Owner and/or User to the Wastewater System or Storm Water System, or may refuse to review any plans submitted by or on behalf
of such Owner and/or User or issue any permits requested by or on behalf of such Owner and/or User, or may refuse to contract for any
purpose with or accept Wastewater or Storm Water from any such Owner and/or User.
Section Nine. Remedies. (A) Whenever any Owner and/or User fails to pay any Wastewater User Charge on an account after
sixty (60) days from the billing date for such Charges, then the District may collect the amount of all such Charges, plus late charges
or interest, collection costs including charges incurred by the District to collection agencies, court costs, attorney’s fees, sewer and/or
water shutoff costs and other related costs, and any costs and attorney fees regarding the filing, enforcement and release of any recorded
lien, as applicable, accrued and accruing on the account , by any or all of the following three (3) procedures:

235
action to recover all delinquent Wastewater User Charges plus all of the other charges listed in Section 9A above.

which would reduce any Wastewater User Charges imposed by the District.
Section Eleven. Violation of Ordinance. Any Person violating Section Ten of this Ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50.00 or more than $500.00. The imposition of such
penalty shall in no way restrict or deprive the District of its right to pursue any other remedy it may have for the collection of any
delinquent bill for Wastewater User Charges.
Section Twelve. Wastewater User Charge Review. The Board shall regularly review the Wastewater User needs of the District
and Wastewater User Charges, usually as a part of a Rate Proposal from the Rate Commission, to assure the appropriateness of the
