How is the stormwater fee determined?

The calculation differs between residential and non-residential accounts. Residential locations use a tiered structure while the non-residential fee is simply proportional to the amount of impervious area. Both calculations and examples are explained in detail in Appendix B.

For residential locations the stormwater fee is determined as follows:

If the impervious surface area is…

Between 1 and 2,000 sq ft then the fee will be $51 anually or $8.50 bi-monthly
Between 2,001 and 4,000 sq ft then the fee will be $54 annually or $9.00 bi-monthly
Between 4,001 and 6,000 sq ft then the fee will be $81 annually or $13.50 bi-monthly
More than 6,000 sq ft then the fee will be $108 annually or $18.00 bi-monthly.

For non-residential locations the monthly stormwater fee is determined as follows:

$19.08 x (impervious area in square feet) / 1000 x 12
