Has everyone gotten their “This is not a bill” bill from the City of Richmond for the new stormwater fee? Enclosed is a handy brochure, entitled “Stormwater: What you need to know.” The brochure covers things like why Richmond needs this fee, what is stormwater runoff, and more importantly who pays for this?
In accordance with Richmond City Ordinance 2009-60, property owners of developed property within the city shall pay a stormwater utility fee based upon the stormwater class and the amount of impervious surface area. An impervious surface is one that prevents precipitation from rain or snow from soaking into the ground. Impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to rooftops, streets, parking areas, and any concrete, asphalt or compacted gravel surface.
To learn more about this go to The City of Richmond’s Stormwater Utility site. There you can find an FAQ section, information on how to build a rain barrel and the Stormwater Fee Appeals form.
