| This Fund's primary purpose is to improve the quality of the
stormwater before it is discharged into the Banana River. Revenues for this fund consist of a utility
fee, based on ERU's (Equivalent Residential Units). Current projections are based on a $3 per
unit per month charge to be billed through the City of Cocoa. A full time employee was hired in January
2005 to administer the Stormwater Utility program and to continue
implementing the programs and projects outlined in the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
and our Stormwater Master Plan. Many of the projects
are funded with Grants from The Department of Environmental Protection and
The St. John's River Water Management District. |
