Storm Water Utility to Be Discussed Monday

Trustees will hear a presentation about the creation of a storm water utility – and decide whether it should be implemented in Whitefish Bay.

The Village Board could decide Monday night whether a storm water utility fee will be implemented in Whitefish Bay.

The Village Board will hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at Village Hall to hear a consultant's presentation about the creation of a storm water utility, which would bill all users - including schools, churches and other tax-exempt groups – for their portion of the storm water system's expenses. A storm water fee would be charged based on each property's storm water impact.

Trustees hired Crispell-Snyder, an engineering consulting firm, in March to research the creation of a storm water utility, and they will present their findings at the Monday night meeting. Crispell-Snyder made a similar presentation on March 21, and can now be viewed on the village's website
