Wednesday, 21 February 2007
The Drainage Utility fee will be based upon the amount of area on each property that does not allow water to absorb into the ground, such as driveways, patios, and rooftops. The Drainage Utility fee will be charged to each utility customer (residential, business, non-profit, special district, church, state, and federal) in the City of Federal Heights. The fee will provide revenue of approximately $400,000 per year, 30% for the Stormwater Quality Management Program and 70% for Capital Improvement Projects.
