The construction, operation and maintenance of a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) can involve significant expense, especially when regulatory requirements, flooding concerns, water quality issues and population growth are factored in.  A storm water utility is a mechanism to fund the cost of municipal services directly related to the control and treatment of storm water.  A storm water utility will operate similarly as an electric or water utility.  Typically, the utility will be administered and funded separately from the revenues in the general fund, ensuring a dedicated revenue source for the expense of storm water management.
