INFORMATION: On September 10th, the Board received a report on stormwater service delivery, and directed staff to set a public hearing to amend the stormwater rate structure.

Other supporting materials are available at http://www.townofcarrboro.org/1138/Stormwater-Utility-Rate-Structure.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: Amending the rate structure is estimated to increase the dedicated annual revenue for the Stormwater Utility’s from a little over $800k to close to $1M. The additional revenue will support additional staff capacity and accelerated and expanded delivery of stormwater services.
