City of Cape Girardeau

Our water treatment plant needs significant upgrades and many water mains across the city need to be replaced. Voters will decide whether to approve a water bill increase to fund these critical infrastructure needs ($8-14/month for most). If this issue does not pass, our system will become increasingly less reliable over time, and we’ll need to consider water conservation. Shortages would be more likely, and a quality decline would be possible. Read more about the proposal and calculate your bill here.
