(a) Users within the designated service area that are 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 of Moundsville and/or the designated service area within the City watershed shall be charged for the use of the stormwater system based on the amount of stormwater and rate of flow of stormwater which is projected to discharge into the stormwater system from the property.
(b) The City Council shall, by ordinance, set user fees which will recover from users their fair share of costs for use of the stormwater system by property within the designated service area. Such user fees will be for the operation and maintenance of, improvements to, necessary additions to, and environmental compliance programs for the stormwater system.
(c) The Sanitary Board may establish and enforce service fees to be charged and collected for services rendered by the stormwater utility or by agents of the utility, including, but not limited to, fees for permit application, stormwater management plan review, inspection, and other services.
