Clean Water Update
The stormwater fee is changing to $6.75 effective 10/1/2020.
As the City continues to fund and implement projects related to the Department of Environmental Protection's mandate for Combined Sewer Overflow requirements, the stormwater rate will increase to $6.75 per billable unit as of October 1, 2020. This is the second increase since this program started in January of 2016. The current rate is approximately $1.00 lower than the FY21 projected rates per the Sustainable Storm Water Funding Task Force when the Stormwater Service Charge was originally contemplated.
