How to pay for flood controls

Savannah depends on pipes, canals, tide gates and detention ponds to try and divert rainwater from roofs and pavement to someplace besides basements and roads. The money to build and maintain all that comes mainly from Savannah’s property and sales taxes and federal and state grants.

All this week, Savannah is inviting folks to public meetings to consider thinking about studying the creation of a “stormwater utility” to raise money for the work.

A city stormwater utility charges property owners based on how much paved or built-over ground they have. In Garden City, for example, a huge warehouse might pay about $1,600 a month to that city’s stormwater utility.  The owner of a single-family home might pay $4.75 a month.  The money collected goes only to projects for handing water runoff.

Check out Savannah’s stormwater utility community meeting dates this week across the city. See what’s going on in other coastal communities’ public affairs with our list of public meetings over the next two weeks for all kinds of agencies. It’s a long list — keep scrolling or read in a browser. Let us know how we’re doing or how you use this list at staff@thecurrent.org

This list starts with an automated collection and is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 


We want to meet your friends! If you like this newsletter be sure to share it.
