The city of Silver Lake has been looking at establishing a storm water utility over the last several months.
The money collected from the utility would create a storm water fund that would be used for repairs and future improvements on the city’s storm water system.
Currently, the storm water system maintenance is paid for out of the general fund through the tax levy. However, some of the largest users of the system, including the school, churches and city facilities are tax exempt, and therefore not contributing to the general fund.
