Proposition Y Sewer Rate Election Is Today

It's election day in University City and there is only one issue on the ballot.

The Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) is asking area voters to decide on Proposition Y, which will determine how rate increases will be doled out.

If St. Louisans vote yes, sewer rates for the average single-family MSD user would rise from roughly $29 for the average single family to roughly $44 by mid-2015. The new rate effective July 1 of this year would be about $31.

By contrast, a rejection of the measure would raise that average rate to about $64 effective July 1 of this year. That figure would then rise to about $65 by mid-2015.
