As announced last year, a storm water charge will be added to your water bill starting on the first billing period of 2016. While the rates are fixed for the year, they will be billed as a daily rate. For example, a medium-sized house is assessed at $100 per year. If the billing period is 60 days (since the last bill) the rate charged would be 27 cents per day (this is a leap year so $100/366) for 60 days = $16.39. If the next billing period were 65 days, the charge would be $17.76.
