No person shall make a connection to the storm sewers of the
city requiring a tap or connection without first having obtained a
permit therefor and paid the fee hereinafter provided.
The fee for obtaining a permit making a storm sewer tap or connection shall be based on the average actual costs of preparing the permit as set by resolution of the council. This permit fee is in addition to the connection fee set forth in SMC section 3.356. This is an incurred charge or cost based upon use or availability for use of the storm sewer system, the availability of which is necessary for the regulation of, and provision for, the public health, safety and welfare. The charge is controlled by the user’s (or potential user’s) request and choice of the kind, nature and quantity of use.
