What is the stormwater fee on my bill for and how was it determined?
CCWA has developed a stormwater utility at the request of the County and Cities of Clayton County to address stormwater pollution, flooding and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. This fee will be assessed beginning in May 2007 and then every month thereafter. In July 2007, CCWA will take responsibility for all stormwater related management and maintenance activities from the County and Cities. The fee is based on the amount of imperious surface on a property (rooftops, parking lots, driveways, etc.) that does not allow rainfall to penetrate into the ground, but instead causes it to runoff into our streams and rivers. Single family residential properties are being billed a flat rate of $3.75 per month, while non-residential properties are billed based on the actual amount of impervious surface on their property. Please refer to the Stormwater Section on our Web site (www.ccwa.us) for more information about this fee.
