What is a Stormwater Utility?
A dedicated funding source to support an administrative organization that plans, designs, constructs and maintains a stormwater management system, sediment and flood control programs and projects, and provides stormwater education.

Stormwater Utility
Formed in early 1980’s; updated 2007 Rates based on Impervious Area Cannot be used for first-time service (i.e., SAD) Revenue only be used for Stormwater Projects and
Programming

overhangs Use Ann Arbor GIS data as
classification Benchmark Data Quality Assurance
Manual digitization Field verification
