Program details

How it works

St. Louis County says this countywide program administers repair contracts on residential water service lines in unincorporated and incorporated St. Louis County.

The county guidebook says the program is funded by a $1.00 per month program fee collected on the residential water bill, and that the fee may be used for repair or replacement of water lines extending from the water main to the residential dwelling when a line break occurs.

What the money covers

The program covers repair or replacement of residential water service lines necessitated by a breakage in the line. The county contracts with licensed Master Plumbers to perform the work.

How to apply

The official program page says there is a Water Service Line Repair Application Form that can be downloaded, filled out, and returned. The guidebook page lists county contact information for the program.

Timing and deadlines

The source does not list a deadline. The guidebook describes it as countywide and ongoing.

Special notes

This is not a wildfire-specific program, but it is a homeowner utility repair program that helps restore a critical home service after a break.
