Debt Management

Because the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District is committed to disciplined fiscal management, we adhere to long-standing Debt Policies when we borrow money to finance major construction projects. Between 2017 and 2024, we expect to sell $1.4 billion in bonds to help fund wastewater infrastructure investments. That is in addition to the $1.72 billion in bonds we have sold to fund capital wastewater projects since FY2004.
