Increases the fee imposed for the repair of lateral sewer service lines in certain areas upon a vote approving the increase

HB 2843 increases the annual fee for repairing lateral sewer service lines (the pipes connecting homes to public systems) from $50 to $100 per residential property with six or fewer dwelling units. It also applies to condominiums with six or fewer units per building, requiring each unit to pay its share of the fee if served by its own individual sewer line. The fee requires voter approval via a local referendum before implementation, and collected funds must be used exclusively for repairing defective sewer lines in a dedicated account. This bill directly affects homeowners and condo owners in specific Missouri counties with populations between 210,000 and 300,000.
