Description
Stormwater utilities have played a key role in bringing funding to green infrastructure, storm sewer system redesign, and maintenance for two decades in the United States. As the impacts of climate change grow, stormwater utilities can play a significant role in providing additional funding to critical projects. However, the political and logistical complexity of developing successful stormwater utilities are steep. We will explore the basics of stormwater utilities, regional efforts to implement stormwater fees, and the roadmaps for success.
