St. Louis Tornado Victims Get Water Bill Relief | St. Louis News

St. Louis is offering storm victims a lifeline: cut water bills in half through December 2028, but only if you sign up before September 30—because that’s when they’ll shut off water for unpaid accounts. The Tornado Recovery Water Affordability Program wipes out charges for total losses since May 2025, gives 50% retroactive credits and up to three years of payment plans for others, and drops all interest, late fees, and reconnection charges. Over 4,000 households owe nearly $4.3 million, with some facing bills over $2,000. The city’s goal? Make payments manageable, reduce debt, and keep rates lower long-term. Plus, another program offers up to $500 toward past-due bills—and both end on Sept. 30. Low-income residents outside the tornado zone can also get a 50% discount starting fall 2026. Sign up online, by phone, or in person. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
