Summary
Stormwater utility fee (SUF) is crucial for sustaining efforts to protect water resources. Having a dedicated fund source for stormwater ensures the sustainability of stormwater management programs. While the inception of SUFs can be traced back to the Water Quality Act of 1987, their implementation and revenue allocation are subject to local ordinances, resulting in significant variations across the United States. This article provides examples of how SUFs are administered in South Carolina.
