Proposed stormwater fee not approved by Vallejo property owners
The Vallejo Flood & Wastewater District announced Tuesday that the proposed stormwater fee for Vallejo property owners did not pass the vote. The fee increase was put forward to help cover the cost of providing flood protection, improve water quality in local creeks and lakes with trash removal, and other projects that are required under California and federal laws. Most Vallejo residents have not seen an increase to their $1.97 per month stormwater fee in 25 years. Of the 32,331 ballots mailed to property owners, 7,210 (22.30 percent) were returned — 32.21 percent were in favor, and 67.79 percent were opposed.
