Council amends master fee schedule to match stormwater rate changes

Lancaster City Council · August 17, 2026

Summary

The council approved a resolution to amend section 9.000 (drainage utility fees) of the master fee schedule to reflect the stormwater-rate increases and related caps and discounts, effective Oct. 1, 2026. Staff said the change is a companion item to the stormwater ordinance and will be posted on bills.

The Lancaster City Council approved a resolution amending section 9.000 of the city’s master fee schedule to update drainage utility fees in line with the newly approved stormwater rate structure. City Manager (S3) described this action as a companion to the stormwater ordinance approved earlier in the meeting and recommended an Oct. 1, 2026 effective date.

S3 repeated key parameters mirrored in the fee schedule: the residential ERU rate moving from $7.97 to $10.50, caps of $200 for religious institutions and independent school district campuses, and discounts of $5.25 for residents age 65 or older and for permanently disabled residents. “This item would amend the master fee schedule with an effective date for this rate of 10/01/2026,” S3 said.

A council member (S4) moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded in the transcript and carried by voice vote. Staff told the council these changes align billing and the fee schedule with the ordinance and will be implemented with the same public-notice and billing schedule.
