What Happened? Discussion of Storm Water Utility Rate

What it Means? The Storm Water Utility Board and Citizen’s Advisory Committee have been working for three years on a proposal to comply with a federal mandate on clean water issues, which was affected by the 2010 reorganization when Eagle and Union townships merged with the town.The proposal was rejected by the town council in November 2012 and the council requested the Storm Water Utility Board bring a new proposal after feedback was provided. The board brought the proposal to the group for discussion and input, but the town council members remain divided on this issue with a few thinking the storm water fee is not necessary and others believing it is a good idea for planning ahead and freeing up other funds for road projects.

What’s Next? The Council requested an update to the original 2008 plan from the Storm Water Utility Board. No vote was taken on this issue but will be considered at a future date when a new proposal is presented.
