Gas and Water Infrastructure Costs in Missouri
Add Up Outside of Rate Cases
Under Missouri law, gas and electric utilities are allowed to recover the costs of infrastructure improvements, primarily pipeline replacements, outside of traditional rate cases. Consumers Council believes that these accelerated surcharges can lead to uneconomic practices, and threatens the affordability of our utility bills. Read our latest report to find out more.

Our Main Issues
Consumers Council of Missouri continues to build on five decades of educating and advocating for the people across the state of Missouri. In addition to these areas of focus, we address other issues that arise relating to communities that have long been the target of structural oppression.
Our Initiatives
Consumers Council of Missouri is currently expanding our outreach through initiatives specifically targeting community needs that are not otherwise being addressed, such as St. Louis City Water Affordability.
StL City Water Affordability
Striving to ensure equitable and affordable access to water for residents of St. Louis City.

Thank you to everyone who came out to tonight’s Water Town Hall at the O’Fallon Park Rec Complex.
Residents showed up with real questions and concerns about water rates, affordability, infrastructure, and the future of water in the City of St. Louis. Community members had the opportunity to hear directly from the St. Louis City Water Division and engage in an important discussion about issues that impact households across the city.
From the perspective of the Consumers Council of Missouri, meetings like this are critical. Community voices must remain part of the conversation as decisions continue to be made around water rates and affordability.
We appreciate everyone who attended, asked questions, and stayed engaged. The community’s participation matters.
CCM encourages even more residents to attend these meetings in the future to make their voices heard, stay informed, and remain involved in decisions that directly impact their water and their wallets.
