All properties in the Morgantown watershed are required by law to participate in the stormwater utility, regardless of whether the property is within or outside the City limits. As with other utility service, fees are based on the amount of service provided. In other words, your service fee for stormwater management is based on the amount of water that runs off of a property and into the watershed. Since water is absorbed by the ground in its natural state, this generally means that a property with a large paved area or roof will be assessed a higher fee than the same sized property with only grass and trees.
Residential Rates
Everyone living in single family homes in the Morgantown watershed will pay a flat rate for water quality protection and control against flooding through stormwater management.
Non-Residential Rates
Non-residential rates include any business, organization or complex which does not fall under the single-family household rate. It is important to remember that the charge per square feet refers to impervious surfaces only. Lawns and other areas in their natural state will not be included in the rate assessment.
