PROPOSED STORM WATER USER FEE

Notice is hereby given that the Common Council of the City of Austin, Indiana, will conduct a public hearing on October 13, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., at Austin City Hall, Austin, Indiana, concerning a proposed ordinance regulating the oversight and management of storm water within the City of Austin and establishing a storm water user fee.

The proposed ordinance creates a Department of Storm Water Management and the City of Austin Storm Water Management District and establishes a storm water user fee to provide for the construction, operation, oversight, maintenance, repair, and improvement of the City’s storm water system and compliance with applicable state and federal requirements.

Under the proposed ordinance, one (1) Equivalent Runoff Unit (“ERU”) is established as 2,800 square feet of impervious surface area. The proposed monthly storm water user fee is Five Dollars ($5.00) per ERU. Single-family residential and agricultural parcels will be deemed to contain one (1) ERU and will be charged $5.00 per month. Non-residential parcels will be charged based upon the total impervious surface area of the property divided by one ERU and multiplied by the $5.00 monthly rate.

The proposed ordinance also adopts storm water management policies and procedures, establishes stormwater management plan review requirements and related fees, creates a dedicated Storm Water Fund, and provides procedures for adjustments and appeals.

At the public hearing, all interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed ordinance and storm water user fee. Following the public hearing, the Common Council may consider passage and adoption of the ordinance and establishment of the proposed rate. A copy of the proposed ordinance and related Storm Water Oversight and Management Policy is available for inspection at the office of the Austin Clerk-Treasurer during regular business hours.

Dated this 8^th day of September 2026.

CITY OF AUSTIN, INDIANA
