Stormwater Utility Fee Credit
A stormwater utility fee credit, or stormwater credit, represents a reduction in the customer's stormwater utility service fee. The credit is only applicable for instances where stormwater management best management practices (BMPs) are operated and maintained to reduce the impact of runoff from the subject property on the city's stormwater management systems or in recognition of activities undertaken by the customer to reduce the cost of operating the stormwater management program.
'Home Owner 's Associations (HOA) or other similar groups of homeowners of Subdivisions which have Best Management Practices (BMPs) and maintain the BMPs to the appropriate standards are eligible for reductions in the bills of all residents of the subdivision by the appropriate amount of credit as shown above; however this credit is available only to those parcels that drain to the approved BMP and not all parcels associated with the HOA or similar groups of homeowners of Subdivisions.
