On Tuesday, June 28, the Suwanee City Council voted to enact a stormwater utility fee to help offset the costs of stormwater infrastructure management.

A stormwater utility – or user fee system – is a program with a user fee charge to help local government recover the costs of managing stormwater runoff generated by a parcel or customer. The utility creates a reserve for stormwater management services; funds collected pay for stormwater management-related projects and regulatory compliance programs.
