Storm Water Utility Fee On The Horizon

Oro Valley's Town Council voted Oct. 3 to provide a notice of intent to establish a monthly stormwater utility fee of up to $2.90 a month and scheduled a public hearing on it for Nov. 7. Yet another fee to be added to our already bloated and ever increasing water bill! Supposedly, the money collected will be used to repair roads damaged from the summer monsoons.

If approved by the council at the Nov. 7 meeting, the fee would become effective Jan. 1, 2008.
