Roswell stormwater fees set to begin

Monthly stormwater utility fees kick in for Roswell residents and property owners beginning in July.

The rates will be determined by the amount of impervious surface area on a developed property.  Most homes in Roswell will pay $3.95 per month, some of which will be offset by a reduced sanitation fee. City officials said the stormwater fee is the most equitable way to pay to maintain and improve the city’s stormwater system.

Larger properties, chiefly businesses, will pay the highest rates.
