Are there any charges or fees associated with the storm drain system?
A. There are two types of storm drain system fees: the Storm Drainage Connection Fee and the Storm Sewer Service Charge. The Storm Drainage Connection Fee is essentially a one time fee that is assessed when a piece of property is first developed and is based on the type of usage planned for the property. If the property is subsequently redeveloped to a significantly different usage, an additional fee may be assessed. Storm Drainage Connection Fees are calculated and collected by the Department of Public Works. The Storm Sewer Service Charge is an annual fee paid by owners of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional properties and is based on the relative quality and quantity of storm water runoff contributed to the storm drain system by their properties.
