Stormwater Utility Case Study: Lancaster, Pennsylvania

In 2014, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, adopted an ordinance creating a stormwater utility to keep its separated storm sewers in a state of good repair, address flooding issues, and avoid stiff fine for non-compliance of its CSO permit. This case study by New Jersey Future provides an overview of how the stormwater utility and the fee imposed to fund it were developed and adopted.
