Salisbury To Form Stormwater Utility

SALISBURY –The city’s stormwater infrastructure has gone ignored for over 100 years, and as the system continues to fail causing flooding and impacting surrounding waterways the city takes a stand by forming a Stormwater Utility Fund.

On Monday evening, an ordinance to establish a Stormwater Utility under the direction and supervision of the Public Works Department and further establishing a Stormwater Utility Fee System came before the City Council for approval in its second and final reading.

The ordinance furthers an annual service charge, or Stormwater Utility Fee, will be imposed on property owners starting July 1 to fund the Stormwater Utility. Currently, the average fee being proposed comes to about $20 a year being based on a property’s amount of impervious surface.

The audit indicates a massive surplus in water and sewer cash so what is going on?

Too many people taking from the system and not paying into it will doom Salisbury to nothing more than a crime ridden ghetto.
