CHAPTER 9-2 STORMWATER RATES AND CHARGES

9-2-3 Ownership Of City Stormwater Facilities And Assets

All of the City’s stormwater collection system and stormwater facilities and structures (collectively “stormwater facilities”) have been transferred to and made a part of the stormwater system. The stormwater system shall operate, maintain and improve all city stormwater facilities used for the conveyance of stormwater, through, under or over lands, watercourses, beginning at a point where stormwater first enters the stormwater system of the city and ending in each instance at a point where the stormwater exits from the system. Governmentally-owned streets and stormwater facilities operated and maintained by, or for, the State or County shall not be deemed stormwater facilities.

9-2-5 Billing And Collection

Stormwater System Special Revenue Fund. The original Storm Sewer Drainage Ordinance created the Storm Sewer Drainage Fund. This chapter maintains the purpose and intent of the original ordinance and continues the Special Revenue Fund, which shall now be known as the Stormwater System Fund (a Special Revenue fund). All revenues received from storm drainage user fees shall be placed in the Special Revenue fund as a designated fund, to be left separate and apart from all other City funds. The collection, accounting, and expenditure of all stormwater funds shall be in accordance with the Utah Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act.
Billing. The City shall bill property owners for stormwater services. Billing amounts shall be included as a separate line item on utility bills. A billing will also be sent to owners of parcels within the city who are not City utility customers.
Collection. Partial payments on a combined utility bill shall be applied consistent with the billing procedures established by the City. Fees and charges shall be considered delinquent if not paid as determined by the procedures established by the City and will be a debt to the City, which shall be subject to recovery in a civil action. Pursuant to U.C.A. 1953, § 10-8-38, the City may cause the water service to the property to be shut off for failure to pay for the stormwater service furnished, as set forth on the billing.
