Description
The Blackwells filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the City of St. Charles contending the City's policy requiring them to sign a petition for voluntary annexation before granting access to its sewer and water systems violates their constitutional rights. The Blackwells are residents of unincorporated St. Charles County. The district court granted summary judgment to the City and the Blackwells appeal. We affirm. The Blackwells assert the City's policy violates their first amendment right to free speech and their fourteenth amendment rights to due process and equal protection. The district court correctly found the Blackwells have no legally enforceable right of access to the City's sewer and water systems, and accordingly, entered summary judgment for the City. Blackwell v. City of St. Charles, 726 F. Supp. 256, 259 (E.D. Mo. 1989).
