City’s storm water utility fee starts in 2023 Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- The new year will bring with it a major change for how the city of Seguin goes about funding drainage projects. In January, the city will begin collecting a drainage utility fee from all properties within the city limits.The fee will allow the city to create a new storm water utility. Those projects have been funding primarily by property taxes in the past, but the new fee is expected to be a more equitable and better way to address some the drainage needs throughout the city. Mayor Donna Dodgen says this is something that’s been in the works for a long time. “So before COVID, the city manager and the council decided to begin to pursue and look at this,” said Dodgen. “And then of course COVID came and we went into a holding pattern. And right after COVID...we started ramping back up. We started this process again. And it truly is a new utility.” Fee, pg. 2
