archivesDARK CLOUDS OVER COLORADO SPRINGS' STORMWATER RUNOFF FEE
On Tuesday Colorado Springs' city council is set to vote on whether to charge property owners a "storm water enterprise fee." The idea is to raise money to repair what the city says is a backlog of urban drainage projects. In the last couple of years, the Springs has come under fire from Pueblo for failures of its drainage system, which have washed out sewer lines and sent raw sewage down Fountain Creek, but the new fee is being greeted with skepticism, mistrust and anger in Colorado Springs.

I think what they are trying to do is great but according to the news they are gonna start cracking down those who refuse to pay. Paying would not be a problem if the water ran off our property. I even get alot of neibors run off which is causing foundation issues with our home. Is there anything we can do? If so could you e-mail me some info? This is our first home and have enough problems with home sinking. During rain season our home has up to three inches of standing water all the way around the home,with that mosquitos are really bad also. So any info would be great. Thank you for your time.
