City of San Antonio to Propose a Change in Stormwater Fees

From the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce:

The Chamber’s Board was briefed on the possibility for changes in residential and commercial storm water fees that will be presented later this summer to the City Council for discussion and approval as a part of the city’s budget. The fees could potentially impact businesses in several ways.

The stormwater fee is billed by SAWS on behalf of the City of San Antonio's stormwater utility to support and manage the operation and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure, as well as for engineering, design, and capital improvements.

San Antonio's stormwater fees are used to solve drainage problems and improve surface water quality, to prevent future problems, and to repair, maintain, and enhance the stormwater infrastructure.
