Does this yearly fee need to be paid in one lump sum or can it be paid with our monthly service over time?
We looked at having this fee as a monthly charge, but unfortunately, the cost of sending out a stand alone monthly bill for $8 was not cost effective and would have required us to charge an even greater fee. In the absence of an existing monthly invoice (such as water/ sewer) that the City mails to all residents, this was the most cost effective way to bill for storm water. If you would like to discuss payment options, you will need to speak with Dora Perry (803.548.3512 ext 122).
