Re: Ordinance amending Chapter 17, Article 14 of the South Bend Municipal Code to revise
storm water rates for non-residential customers
Dear President McBride:
Attached is a bill for consideration by the South Bend Common Council addressing changes to
the monthly storm water user fee for non-residential customers.
Chapter 17, Article 14, of the South Bend Municipal Code was amended in 2021 to establish a
hybrid rate system with residential customers continuing to be charged a flat fee while non-
residential customers having a multi-tiered impervious-based stormwater rate. This was done to
better align the cost of service for parcels generating larger amounts of runoff. Due to challenges
in implementing an impervious-based rate into the current billing and customer account
management software, the proposed amendments are meant to implement a simplified rate
structure for non-residential customers. This will give the City more time to develop the multi-
tiered approach that is deemed overall fair and equitable to everyone within a user class.
The proposed amendment will implement the rate for Non-Residential Tier 1 customers to all other
tiers in 2024 and 2025.
I will present the ordinance changes to Council at its upcoming meeting. As always, thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely,
44.LIAAA.Ar_i
