City Takes No Action On MSD Tax Hikes

The Webster Groves City Council on Sept. 3 decided to remain neutral, for now at least, on a proposal by the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District to allow the district to raise residential property taxes next year.

The council is prepared to support a sewer district increase on property taxes, with its funding option that would allow the city to use half the funds generated toward city projects.

MSD officials are making a similar proposal to communities throughout the district’s coverage area.
