Message from Mayor Pagano
April 3 Ballot Issue
I hope you enjoyed the mild winter this year. It seemed like we had the exact opposite of the cold and snow that we experienced last year. Of course, next winter we could get back to another Arctic blast—you never know what’s going to happen here in the Midwest.
One of the things that can happen during cold weather is that the ground can shift, and when the ground shifts, we tend to have more sewer and water line repairs.
For homeowners, these types of repairs can really hit you in the pocketbook. That’s why in 2004 you approved a Sewer Lateral Repair Program in St. Peters. Now, residents pay a $28 annual fee that provides insurance coverage for your sewer lateral line up to $7,500 per repair. Voters agreed that paying a little as you go is better than paying a huge lump sum if and when your private sewer lateral line unexpectedly breaks.
Well, here we are, eight years later, and the City of St. Peters is offering voters another similar choice. On Tuesday, April 3, City of
St. Peters voters will be asked to consider a water line repair insurance program, similar to the sewer lateral insurance program. If
approved, the program will cost residents $1 a month, for a total of $12 for the year, to pay for the water line insurance program. This insurance covers your water line located between your home and the City’s water meter. It can cost you $1,800 or more if this private water service line breaks.
Learn more about the Water Service Line Insurance Program in on page 2 of this issue of
UpFront. I’m happy that the state legislators in Missouri recently allowed us to put this issue on the ballot. And, I hope that you take this opportunity to vote on April 3 and make your voice known on this issue.
As always, it is a pleasure to be a voice for you as your Mayor. Please call or email me with any concerns. My phone number is ext. 1233 at 636.477.6600 or 636.278.2244, and my email is lpagano@stpetersmo.net.
