MS4 Program Resources The City of Chesapeake collects a residential stormwater utility fee of $7.35 per month. Non-residential properties pay a fee based on an Equivalent Residential Unit. The formula for determining non-residential property fees is as follows: An Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) is equal to the average impervious area (areas covered with residences, buildings, driveways, etc.) determined from all residential units in the City. That average impervious area for Chesapeake has been determined to be 2,112 square feet. Therefore, divide the total impervious area of a non-residential property by one ERU (2,112 SF) to obtain the number of ERUs, and multiply that by the flat residential rate. The City of Chesapeake has a Citizen Stormwater Committee that is made up of 11 City Council appointed representatives and three Ex-Officio members from the City staff. They hear appeals by any interested party from any interpretation, ruling, or decision by the Director of Public Works in accordance with section 26-434 of the City Code. Committee members also provide input and direction to City staff on the Stormwater Program, and hear resident concerns that are brought to the Committee.
