Stormwater Utility Fee Lookup Map Now AvailableThe City is proposing to restructure the existing stormwater utility based on each property's impervious surface area (any area on the property that prevents stormwater from draining into the soil), rather than water consumption. Check out the Stormwater Utility Fee Lookup Map, a new interactive tool where you can search for your address to see the impervious area calculation for your property and estimated fee. You can learn more about the proposed fee restructuring at wheaton.il.us/stormwaterutility. |
