Stormwater utility fees are charges imposed to fund the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of the stormwater management system. These fees ensure proper drainage and reduce flooding, enhancing public safety and property values.
The Village proposes changing the methodology for calculating stormwater utility fees from the current Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) system to a new Equivalent Billing Unit (EBU) system. Under the new EBU system, fees will be based on the impervious surface area on each property, with larger properties with more impervious surfaces paying higher fees.
