Where does my
monthly stormwater fee go?
Stormwater fees are used primarily for maintenance of stormwater
detention facilities, stream channels, pumping stations, culverts,
ditches and other drainage facilities. Tulsa's stormwater
management program, developed in 1987 with input from the
Stormwater Drainage Advisory Board and numerous citizen groups, has
achieved these results:
- Lowest flood insurance premiums in the nation
- Open greenspace for playgrounds, soccer fields and trails
- Wetlands and ponds (wildlife habitat)
- Flood-resistant commercial and residential development
- Safer streets with improved drainage to handle heavier amounts
of rainfall
- Better water quality
Large capital projects are funded by City sales tax revenues and
bond issues. The money is used for acquisition of lands and
construction of large water retention facilities, major drainage
basin improvements and other such large capital items. For current
status on projects, call the Customer Care Center at (918)
596-2100.
