Process
Single and Two-Family properties will be billed at a flat rate. All other properties will be assessed an annual storm water fee based on the total amount of impervious surface area on the lot, which will be billed quarterly. Condominium properties will be billed based on the total amount of impervious surface, at a maximum of the single and two-family rate, for each condominium unit. The amount will appear as a separate charge on your quarterly water and sewer bill. The fee will follow for the following different types of property:
Property Type Storm Water Fee
Undeveloped - No fee
Single & Two-Family Residences - Flat fee of $10.00/ quarter or ($40.00 annually)
Multi-Family, Commercial/ Industrial - Fee is based on Total Impervious Surface Area.
How is total impervious surface area determined?
Impervious surface areas were measured using the Town's mapping system (GIS).
Buildings, driveways, and parking areas, were delineated from aerial photos. The surface area of these features was calculated and will be assessed at a rate of $40.00/ 3,210 sq. ft. (annually) for multi-family, commercial, and industrial properties.
