These State and Federal programs as well as the aging infrastructure are requiring the City and Utilities to form the Storm Water Utility. The Storm Water Management Board has been proactive in our efforts to address our Communities storm needs but the resources available have limited these activities. With the addition of the State and Federal Programs our community must develop a user fee structure. The fees will allow us not only to meet State and Federal guidelines but also to begin the much-needed maintenance of our infrastructure.
