Do I need to pay a Storm Water Utility Fee if I do not purchase water or dispose of wastewater using Arvada utilities or receive any bills from the City of Arvada?
The generation of storm water, and thus the storm water fee, is not dependent on who receives the property’s wastewater. Nor does it depend on the amount of drinking water that is used. The storm water fee pays for improvements to the storm sewer system within the entire City for the general health, safety and well-being of Arvada’s businesses and citizens. In addition, the federally mandated Storm Water Permit is not limited to only those properties that have run-off, but is required of the City by the State and the Environmental Protection Agency in order to avoid $2,500 or more per day in penalties. Our records show that your property is within the corporate limits of Arvada and will be included in the billing. If a property owner does not receive a water or wastewater bill at the present time, a separate bill will be prepared for them that will address just the Storm Water Utility Fee. .
