1. How is the stormwater fee calculated?

The basic charge is $4.37 per equivalent residential unit (ERU), which equals 3,800 square feet of impervious surface (rooftops, pavement and similar hard surfaces that water cannot penetrate). Each residential unit pays $4.37 per month. Non-residential property pays $4.37 per ERU. This amount was determined by a formula considering the cost of the stormwater program and the number of ERUs in the City. The fee is only charged to property inside the City Limits.

2. What is the stormwater fee used for?

The stormwater fee is used to pay for capital projects to relieve flooding, for increased inspection of drainage facilities, for increased maintenance of the City's stormwater system, and to meet the state regulatory requirements.
