The costs for improving Jacksonville's drainage system and satisfying federal and state requirements for treating stormwater runoff have increased dramatically. Recognizing these increased demands, the City of Jacksonville created the Jacksonville Stormwater Utility to directly manage the projects, programs and services associated with the city's stormwater management system.

The stormwater fee generates the revenue needed to meet new and existing stormwater requirements and to improve Jacksonville's system, including our greatest asset—the St. Johns River.
