Missouri American Water will construct a new, larger water tower on Sappington Barracks Road in Sunset Hills after Mayor Pat Fribis broke a tie for a conditional-use permit over fears of a lawsuit, despite the objections of neighbors.
The new larger tower will help provide water for South County south of Interstate 44 to the River des Peres and northwest of Interstate 55.
Fribis broke the tie for the tower after the Board of Aldermen deadlocked 4-4 in a special meeting Jan. 26. Ward 1 Aldermen Ann McMunn and Joe Stewart, Ward 3 Alderman Cathy Friedmann and Ward 2 Alderman Casey Wong voted against the CUP, while Ward 2 Alderman Steve Bersche, Ward 3 Alderman Nathan Lipe and Ward 4 Aldermen Thompson Price and Mark Colombo voted for it. Fribis called for the meeting after aldermen rejected the CUP in a 4-3 vote earlier this month.
