Shouldn’t the majority of the burden of this cost now be borne by the new development areas within Tega Cay?
Any developed lot (commercial or
residential) contributes to storm water and issues relating to storm water. By creating
this new fund, we will be able to better maintain this system (which is over 30 years old
in parts of Tega Cay), monitor the outfalls (minimizing pollutants into the lake and
streams), conduct the proper routine maintenance to ensure that the storm water system
functions properly, and meet the stringent requirements of our mandated NPDES
permit.
