Summary
Cary leaders were scheduled to explore a stormwater utility fee — a dedicated charge that could appear on utility bills to fund drainage maintenance, flood prevention, and stormwater infrastructure. It's still at the discussion stage, so nothing has been decided about whether residents would pay it or how much.

Impact analysis
If adopted later, the fee could add a new line item to residents' utility bills — the amount hasn't been determined.
Residents in flood-prone areas and neighborhoods with aging drainage could benefit from dedicated stormwater funding.
Households on tight budgets could see higher utility bills if a fee is eventually adopted.
