Drainage Rate Restructure Proposal 24 24  Existing drainage rate structure is based on room count and gross area  This is not the most equitable billing calculation  Restructured rate is based on each parcel's impervious area (hardened surfaces such as concrete, rooftop, etc.)  Industry standard  Charge reflects each parcel’s impact on the storm drainage system  Fair and equitable
