In December 2020, the City Commission concluded two years of community engagement with their adoption of a new Storm Water Master Plan (SWMP). The plan details our community intentions for mitigating flooding, solving existing drainage problems, and improving water quality and quality of life in Decatur.
According to the SWMP, $38 million is needed to implement high priority capital projects by 2040.
To source this funding, the City Commission will consider a newly proposed storm water fee schedule at its regular meeting on Monday, March 1, 2021.
For more information about the Plan, its projects and proposed fees, review this downloadable fact sheet.
