How will we be able to see where our money has been going, and what will the priorities be?

The money gathered through the user fee will go towards better stormwater management, and you should gradually see results in terms of better flood management, stormwater maintenance and regulatory compliance. In the field, we will be keeping a photographic log of areas when work is done. We will also be posting signs and providing news releases on projects as they are completed. Maintenance of the system is recorded in the Cartegraph database. Priorities are identified in the Stormwater Comprehensive plan, and considered as new problems arise.
