As authorized pursuant to F.S. §§ 403.0891 and 403.0893, a stormwater utility is hereby
created consistent with the city's comprehensive plan, and stormwater utility fees
are hereby established to plan, construct, operate and maintain a stormwater management
system. The stormwater management system is the system designed and constructed or
implemented to control discharges necessitated by rainfall events, incorporating methods
to collect, convey, store, absorb, inhibit, treat, use or reuse water to prevent or
reduce flooding, overdrainage, environmental degradation and water pollution or otherwise
affect the quantity and quality of discharges from the system. The stormwater utility
is the funding of the stormwater management system by assessing the cost of the program
to the beneficiaries based on their relative contribution to its need. It is operated
as a typical utility that bills services regularly, similar to water and wastewater
services.
