Stormwater Management Changing Hands to Brookhaven; Fee Could Increase
To take care of the system's various needs, the $48 flat fee probably won't be sufficient, an official said in a recent news report.
Brookhaven is planning to take the reins of its stormwater management from DeKalb County, and residents could see an increase in the $48 flat fee they currently pay, according to a Reporter Newspapers article.
In the report, the city's public works director, Richard Meehan, said the current $48 flat fee probably won't be sufficient to take care of the system's various needs, including replacing pipes.
Brookhaven has one advantage going into its new responsibility: the county has already taken an inventory of the system, so the city doesn't have that expense to deal with, according to the article.
