Local jurisdictions are responding to the challenges of stormwater management by developing programs of adjusted utility fees and credits. In the City of Alexandria, the Stormwater Utility Fee was adopted as part of a larger Eco-City Clean Waterways initiative to provide a dedicated funding source for existing management services as well as for new capital projects to reduce sediment and nutrient pollution. An updated Stormwater Utility Fee Credit Manual approved by the City Council outlines a menu of credits to reduce the fee for eligible households.
