Stormwater

McCleary Stormwater is a utility that collects surface water runoff.  In the older part of the City there are many homes that have not yet upgraded to onsite retention and add to the volume the system must absorb.

All new housing and businesses are required by both state law, adopted building code, and McCleary Development Standards to retain and treat all water that comes onto the property. Most often this is accomplished through one or more drywells.

Stormwater rates for parcels with multiple billing accounts, the bill shall be the responsibility of the property owner. Charges for single family parcels used as rental properties will still be billed to the tenant. 

The City has completed aerial estimates of the impervious surface at your site.  Requests for Rate Adjustments may be filed if you feel there has been an error made.
