(a) Users connected to or draining into the public storm drainage system shall pay an equitable share of the actual cost of the operation, maintenance of, improvements to, and necessary additions to the stormwater system. Therefore, all owners or tenants of real property in the City and the City watershed shall be charged for the use of the stormwater system based on the amount of stormwater and rate of flow for stormwater that is projected to discharge into the stormwater system from the property.
(b) The City Council shall, by separate ordinance, set fees that will recover from users their fair share of costs for use of the storm water system by property within and outside the corporate limits of the City and within the City watershed. Such fees will be for the operation and maintenance of, improvements to, and necessary additions to, the stormwater system.
