Title
Substitute resolution establishing the 2025 Equivalent Residential Unit and 2025 Equivalent Residential Unit Rate used in calculation of the Storm Water Management Charge.
Analysis
This resolution establishes the 2025 Equivalent Residential Unit as 1,610 square feet and the 2025 Equivalent Residential Unit Rate as $25.86 per quarter. Based on these values, the Storm Water Management Charge for 2025 is as follows:
Dwelling containing one to 4 dwelling units, including condominiums: $25.86 per quarter
Nonresidential developed property or vacant, improved property: (impervious area of property (sq.ft.)/1,610 sq. ft.) X $25.86 (per quarter)
Body
Whereas, Section 309-54 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances establishes a Storm Water Management Charge to be imposed on all developed property and all vacant, improved property in the city; and
Whereas, Section 309-54 requires the Common Council to adopt, on an annual basis, a resolution establishing the “Equivalent Residential Unit” or “ERU” (citywide average impervious area of residential developed property) and the “Equivalent Residential Unit Rate” or “ERU Rate” (fee charged on each Equivalent Residential Unit) used in the calculation of the Storm Water Management Charge; and
Whereas, Section 309-54 provides that the Storm Water Management Charge for each dwelling on a residential developed property (building containing one to 4 dwelling units) shall be the ERU rate, while the Storm Water Management Charge for a nonresidential developed property or a vacant improved property shall be computed based on the total impervious area of the property divided by the ERU multiplied by the ERU rate; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the 2024 Equivalent Residential Unit shall be 1,610 square feet; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the 2025 Equivalent Residential Unit Rate shall be $25.86 per quarter; and, be it
Further Resolved, That, based on this ERU and ERU rate, the 2025 Storm Water Management Charge shall be as follows:
Dwelling on a residential developed property containing one to 4 dwelling units, including condominiums: $25.86 per quarter
Nonresidential developed property or vacant, improved property: (impervious area of property (sq. ft.)/1,610 sq. ft.) X $25.86 (per quarter); and, be it
Further Resolved, That this ordinance takes effect January 1, 2025.
