FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff is proposing amendments to the City Code to adopt new or increased fees related to stormwater service charges.
Several events since the most recent rate adjustment have combined to make the current stormwater rate insufficient to meet current and future community needs. These events include post-wildfire flood mitigation needs, critical infrastructure upsizing needs in multiple drainage areas, deferred Capital Improvement Projects identified in the 2010 Northeast Area Master Drainage Study, and rapidly increasing materials and construction costs worldwide.
The following resources can be accessed on the City website at flagstaff.az.gov/4781/Stormwater-Rate-Adjustment and provide more information about the proposed changes:
- A public notice announcing the upcoming discussion of this item in the City Council Chambers on November 15, 2022
- An adjustment study outlining how the increase will be used as well as two possible scenarios for funding
- Frequently asked questions
- A slideshow presentation made to the Water Commission on September 15
