The utility fee considers the stormwater control measures (SCMs) that are on site compared with the amount of impervious surface on the property. Keeping these systems in good condition will make the city less likely to issue any notices of violation. Also, if you are eligible for stormwater credits, there needs to be proof that maintenance is being performed.

Repairs can be very costly and can range from a few thousand to over $100,000, depending on the assets on site. Maintaining stormwater systems properly can reduce large expenses because small issues get addressed prior to requiring larger, more expensive repairs. Additionally, properly maintained systems are less likely to flood, which reduces your liability.

There will be no disruption to your business or to your customers when AQUALIS is performing maintenance. We may ask for pallets to be moved that are blocking stormwater features, and we will ask the store manager to sign off on completion of work, but other than that, we are out of sight, out of mind. When doing repair work, we will work with the facility/store/property manager to schedule the best time to complete the work so that you will be appropriately prepared.

Depending on the size and type of stormwater control measure, you can sometimes find that the prices are similar due to the time on site. Most commonly, the maintenance will be more expensive due to the need for a crew and equipment while an inspection can usually be performed by one inspector.

Invoices are submitted along with the completion documents. Completion documents include a summary and scope of work, as well as before, during, and after photos of the project. Some projects, particularly with new clients, will require a deposit up front. The deposit amount will depend on the scope, price, and difficulty of a project.
