STORM WATER CORRECTIONS
The Village has begun the process of correcting storm water issues that currently exist. The Sterling Company, an engineering firm, has been hired to begin surveying and developing preliminary plans to begin the long process of correction.
The engineering studies are being paid for through Community Development Block Grants. The actual construction will be paid for using the 1/2 cent storm water sales tax, which was voted on in November 2003. No money from the General Fund will be used for these projects.
UPDATE:
The engineering firm prioritized the issues. Phase One of the Storm Water Project will begin on Birkenhead / Croydon area. Flooding during rainstorms is causing personal property damage.
Plans have been submitted to MSD for approval. The next step in the process is to obtain easements.

ANYONE going door-to-door in the Village of Marlborough is required to have a license from the Village and a picture ID. A permit from St. Louis County does not count. The Village license is printed on Village letterhead with a raised seal. The Village runs a background check on any door-to-door peddler applicant.
If any peddler comes to your door and does not produce a license and ID, please call the non-emergency police number - 314-889-2341 or if you feel threatened in anyway call
9-1-1!
INVEST IN A SPARE CAR KEY!
Our police are urging residents to purchase a spare key for their cars. Why...for those cold winter or those hot and unbearable humid days when you cannot face getting into a freezing or hot car. You want it warm and toasty or cool and comfy for that ride to work. So, you warm or cool off the car. If you decide to adjust the temperature for your ride...LOCK IT UP!
The cost of a spare key is considerably less than the cost of a stolen car.
