Charges are based on the number of Equivalent Surface Units (2,640 square feet of impervious surface). Each ESU is charged $6.00 per month. The average single family residence is charged one ESU per month. All other properties are calculated based on the actual amount of impervious surface area.
The fees collected for Surface Water Management are used to maintain the storm runoff facilities including ditches, street drains, and catch basins and to provide street sweeping services.
These funds are also used to help clean up the various streams and rivers in our area as well as protecting the environment from polluted runoff.
