The Town of Culver is looking into the possibility of adjusting its storm water utility fees. The town council voted last week to have accounting firm Baker Tilly do a rate study, for a cost not to exceed $7,500.
Town Manager Jonathan Leist said the rates haven’t changed in the past 10 years. “Currently, the rates are $2 per residential customer per month; $4 non-residential or commercial; and $8 for condo, hotel, motel, and condotel customers,” he explained.
Leist estimated that the fee is currently generating about $24,000 a year for the maintenance of the town’s storm water infrastructure. He said the town hasn’t done any major improvements with that money recently. His plan is to use $74,000 of the money that’s accumulated as the local match for upcoming storm water work on South Main Street.
