re: EBR Stormwater Utility Fee

So my lot is 49% impervious to water and has a $175 fee. All my neighbors are in the 20-30% range and have a fee under $100. I then started looking around at other houses with pools, I am assuming that is why so much of my lot is "impervious" and other houses with pools are still under $100. WTF? Did they just make up shite?

It’s something like $1.3X per 500 sq ft of impervious area on your lot per month. Some bullshite like that.

The annual stormwater user?fee will be calculated based on your property’s impervious area square footage and the monthly stormwater rate per Stormwater Billing Unit (BU). One BU is equal to 500 square feet of impervious area. In 2024, the monthly stormwater rate per BU is expected to be $1.36. Therefore, for example, if your property has 1,000 square feet of impervious area, your annual stormwater charge will be calculated as follows:?

1,000 square feet of impervious area ÷ 500 sf (BU) = 2.0 BUs?

2.0 BUs × $1.36 × 12 months = $32.64 per year

I do notice they don’t lock in a rate. They leave that open ended by saying “in 2024, the annual fee is expected to be $1.36 per month.” Wait till that shite keeps going up, up, up. Like everything else we’ve been experiencing.

I’m fricking angry about all of this shite. But know there isn’t shite we can do about it. Government pisses me off so much.
