Should Raleigh invest more in these stormwater programs?

Raleigh, like many larger cities and towns, charges residents a stormwater management utility fee. This is about $7.65 per month for the average residential property. This money is used for the programs included in the table below.

Definitions

Flooding: When stormwater submerges yards, roads, and homes. Flooding happens when creeks and pipes cannot handle the amount of rain falling during a storm. Some flooding is natural and cannot be prevented.  Other flooding can be prevented by building new infrastructure.

Stream Erosion: When the power of the stream flow causes sediment to be dislodged, resulting in steep banks and channel widening. Some erosion is natural, but rapid stream erosion happens as a result of increased runoff from urbanization.

Aging Infrastructure: Pipes, culverts or drains that need to be repaired/replaced because they are in poor condition and/or are near the end of their lifespan.

Pollution: Water pollution happens when stormwater picks up dirt, oil, fertilizer, trash and other litter. When it rains, this pollution goes into storm drains that lead to creeks.
