§ 2-320. Storm water control program.

The purpose of this article is to address the City of Ladue's (the "city") desire to assist its residents, define the storm water control program (the "program") for the city, and define a process that will allow the city to transition from considering storm water as a private responsibility in which the city intervenes only in emergency situations to one where storm water control is facilitated between Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD), the city, and the private property owners within the community.

It is the intention of the city to address, within the constraints of the storm water fund budget, storm water concerns for affected city infrastructure as well as private properties where surface drainage conditions have created a negative impact. This program is currently funded from portions of the sales tax of one-half-cent collected for the payment of storm water improvements and remediation within the city (the "storm water fund"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the city shall not be obligated to undertake any storm water project, nor is the city committing to address all storm water concerns within the city boundaries.
