Mass animal grave in St Charles shelter outbreak

Two local veterinarians destroyed the cats and dogs as cases of distemper spread, leaving six dogs surviving under pound supervision. City officials impose a moratorium on adoptions for two to three months and plan disinfecting and better controls when reopening.

Revised Sewer Rate Could Shift Costs to Large Users
Charles city council plans a reform of sewage charges to fund a $15.00 million maintenance fund. A draft bill due Oct 8 would convert from a water-bill percentage to a 1.8 cent per 100 gallons rate and raise the sewer tap fee from 9 to 100 dollars. The measure targets homeowners and major institutions with higher bills and aims to reduce the homeowner share as industry and public bodies bear a larger portion.
