Why do we pay separate Drainage District and City drainage utility fees?
Drainage District 21 and 23 remain responsible for the ownership and maintenance of main drainage ditches in and around the City of Fife. The City’s utility is responsible for water quality issues, and for the ownership, maintenance, and improvement of branch drainage lines. The City of Fife has an inter local agreement with Drainage District 21, under which the City provides services to the District; charges for those services are billed to the District and the District Commissioners review each bill before it is paid.
