Stormwater Utility Planning Process
The City must adopt a Stormwater Ordinance establishing standards
for keeping stormwater clean. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for
specific areas such as residential, retail, industrial, and construction
activities will be studied, developed, and implemented. In combination,
these programs will reduce stormwater pollution. These activities
support the goal of the City to minimize the pollutants from the
City storm drain system entering the Chattahoochee and Ocmulgee
River Basins.
Anticipated Services of the Stormwater Utility include, but are
not limited to the following:
The stormwater utility will provide a dedicated revenue source
for stormwater management. The stormwater utility will operate similarly
to water or sewer charges which are funded through service fees
and administered separately from the general fund ensuring stable
and adequate support for these services.
