In order to pay for the maintenance, repair, replacement, and improvement of the existing
and future storm water system for the City of South Bend at a time of increased flooding
and water control issues due, among other things, to changing weather patterns and
aging infrastructure, a storm water user fee shall be imposed on each and every tax
parcel of real estate within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend, Indiana.
This charge shall be assessed against the property owner, who shall be considered
the user for purposes of this article. This charge is deemed reasonable and necessary
for its intended purpose. The rates established herein are temporary for at least
two (2) years from their effective date of June 1, 2019. During this interim the Department
of Public Works shall study, evaluate and report to the Common Council the appropriateness
of establishing storm water user fees based upon the quantity of imperious surface
area in a parcel of real estate. The rates established in this article shall remain
effective until replaced, amended, or repealed by the South Bend Common Council.
