While many projects funded by the utility would address drainage <br />problems on private properties, all property owners would receive indirect <br />benefits from a properly maintained and operated stormwater management <br />system for the entire Town. Stormwater management activities with broad <br />benefits include keeping the public streets drained and cleared, making <br />necessary stormwater infrastructure upgrades, reducing erosion of hillsides, <br />eliminating mosquito habitat, and collecting and conveying stormwater safely <br />through all parts of the Town. A portion of the fees would also provide for <br />compliance with federal, state, and local laws for water quality improvements; <br />administration of the Land Use Management Ordinance (LUMO) through <br />development review, inspections, bonding, and stream determinations for the <br />Resource Conservation District; public involvement and educational programs; <br />and responding to public health and safety issues that benefit all property <br />owners. The Town's Flood Maps (NFIP) and associated administrative duties <br />would also fall under the utility. <br />Last updated: x/13/2004 <br />http://townhall.townofchapelhilhorg/stormwater/utility_faq.html 5/24/2004 <br />
