Salt Lake City presenter outlines stormwater and street lighting fees and 6% franchise charge
Summary
City staff said stormwater fees are based on property runoff, street lighting rates vary by location and fixture type, and a 6% utility franchise fee is applied to water, sewer and stormwater charges to support the city's general fund.
Salt Lake City staff described how stormwater and street‑lighting charges are determined and explained the municipal franchise fee.
The presenter said stormwater fees are based on property size and the amount of runoff produced by hard surfaces like roofs and driveways, and that street lighting rates depend on neighborhood location, density of lights and any decorative fixtures. "Street lighting rates are based on where you live in the city, the density of the lights, and if you have any decorative fixtures," the presenter said.
The presenter also stated, "This fee is calculated as 6% of your water, sewer, and stormwater charges and goes into the city's general fund to support community services," describing the franchise fee that appears on utility bills.
