Accomplishments:
The creation of the Storm Water Utility with a dedicated source of funding. It gives the responsibility for managing and operating the Utility to the PSB as they had almost a half century of expertise and experience managing water operations. The decision to create the utility was made after Storm 2006 caused $210 million of damage to our infrastructure.
