Rules, Rates and Charges For The Stormwater Utility Service ​​ 



​Purpose

​City Council passed legislation to form a storm water utility in 2005. 
​City Stormwater Ordinance

The utility is a result of the Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Phase II program. The EPA requires cities throughout the United States to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permit. Storm water is considered a source of pollution in rivers and streams.

The major stormwater problems Maryville faces are a drainage system comprised of old pipes, periodic flooding caused by heavy rains, erosion along Pistol Creek, and potential contaminants flowing into Little River - our drinking water source.
