New drainage utility fee goes into effect in March
A
new drainage utility fee goes into effect with the March utility
bills. The fee is part of the City’s long-term effort to reduce its
reliance on sales tax revenue and was approved by the City Council
in November. All single family residences will pay a flat fee of
$2.75 per month. The fee for commercial, industrial and multi-family
properties is calculated based on their amount of improved area –
buildings, parking lots, driveways, etc. So if a commercial property
has 10 times the improved area as compared to an average home, its
fee would be $27.50 per month.
