Bill Summary

Increases the cap of the fee imposed for the repair of lateral sewer service lines in certain areas upon a vote approving the increase

AI Summary

This bill modifies the existing law regarding fees for repairing lateral sewer service lines in certain Missouri cities, towns, villages, or counties. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum annual fee from fifty to one hundred dollars per year for repairing lateral sewer service lines on residential properties with six or fewer dwelling units or condominiums with six or fewer units. The fee increase can only be implemented after a majority vote by local residents. The proposed ballot question would ask voters to approve an annual charge not exceeding one hundred dollars to fund lateral sewer service line repairs. If approved, the local governing body can establish an ordinance to collect and administer the fee, with all funds deposited in a special account dedicated solely to lateral sewer line repair costs. The bill also clarifies that each condominium unit can be treated as an individual residence for fee purposes and requires that the fee cover all defective portions of the lateral sewer line from the residential structure to its connection with the public sewer system line.
