ST. LOUIS WATER AND WASTERWATER DEPARTMENT NOTICE
PUBLIC HEARING FOR WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS
FY2024 CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND (CWSRF) PROJECT

The City of St. Louis announces a Public Meeting regarding its Project Planning Document for proposed sanitary sewer improvements in the City of St. Louis. The City will be seeking low interest Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan assistance for FY2024.

The purpose of this project is to address improvements to the sanitary sewer system, as well as the Union Street Pump Station and the Wastewater Treatment Plant to comply with regulatory requirements and improve the reliability of wastewater service to residents and customers. This will ensure that the City can continue to adequately convey and treat all sewerage flows in accordance with its NPDES permit.

Project construction will involve rerouting sewer infrastructure and improvements to the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Union Street Pump Station. The Project Planning Document includes one collection system project, which includes the Union Street Pump Station improvements, and five wastewater treatment projects.

Impacts of the proposed projects include short term roadway closures, construction-related temporary soil erosion impacts and dewatering, utility excavation noise, and dust generation. The collection system and pump station project will involve work in the 100-year floodplain. Beneficial impacts include the decrease in sanitary sewer overflows and meeting design standards at the wastewater treatment plant. There are no expected long-term negative impacts from any of the proposed projects.

Project costs are as follows:

Category Capital Cost ($)
Collection System (Alternative 1) & Union Street PS $17,400,000
Secondary Clarifiers $10,100,000
Activated Sludge $5,500,000
Disinfection $5,600,000
Grit Removal $1,900,000
Solids Handling $3,600,000
Total $44,100,000

The estimated cost to users for the proposed project(s) will come in the form of sewer user rate and commodity charge increases, as follows:

Category Monthly User Cost Increase
Collection System (Alternative 1) & Union Street PS $34
Secondary Clarifiers $19
Activated Sludge $11
Disinfection $11
Grit Removal $4
Solids Handling $7
Total $85

The exact cost and scope of the project(s) may change depending on future funding arrangements that can be secured by the City.

The purpose of the hearing is not only to inform, but to seek and gather input from people that will be affected. Comments and viewpoints from the public are encouraged.
