The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District will go to court in an effort to postpone a $500 million bond referendum because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

MSD staff recommended delaying the vote, which is scheduled for April 7.

The agency’s board of trustees approved an ordinance at its meeting Monday night that authorizes its secretary-treasurer to take necessary measures to ensure that local election boards do not count the proposition votes.
