cost of living increase has been added based on the regional consumer
price index (CPI), with increases capped until January 2, 2023, at 2.4% or
the CPI, whichever is less, with increases after that date to conform to the
CPI without any cap.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,

Re. Storm and Surface Water Utility
Sec. 7.05.090. System of charges.
A. There is hereby imposed a system of charges on each parcel of real
property within the city served by or to which is available for service the
storm and surface water utility established by this chapter. The charges
are found to be reasonable and necessary to fund administration, planning,
design, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, improvement, and
replacement of all existing and future storm and surface water facilities,
including the accumulation of reserves and the retirement of any
associated debt.
B. The following charges are hereby established for all parcels of real
property in the city:
1. Single-family residential parcels. The single-family residential
rate shall be as follows:
Charged in Dollars Per Month, Per
Single-Family Residential Dwelling
Effective Effective Effective
January 1, January 1, January 1,
2013 2014 1015
$11.09 $11.64 $12.22
2. Agricultural and undeveloped parcels. Agricultural parcels
shall be charged the monthly single-family residential parcel rate.
Undeveloped parcels shall not be charged.

Re: Storm and Surface Water Utility
3. Other parcels.
a. The charge for all other parcels except single-family
residential parcels, agricultural parcels, and undeveloped parcels shall be
based upon:
i. The total amount of impervious surface as
expressed in equivalent service units (an equivalent service unit (ESU) has
been determined to be two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet of
impervious surface or any fraction thereof); and
ii. The percentage of impervious surface area on each
parcel.
b. The charge for all such parcels shall be computed:
i. By multiplying the total number of ESUs on each
parcel by the parcel's impervious multiplier established in subsection
(B)(3)(c) of this section; and
ii. Multiplying the results by the sum of the single-
family residential rate, if any.
C. Impervious multipliers are hereby established:
i. Percentage of
impervious area
per parcel
(impervious
surface/total Impervious
surface x 100) multiplier
1 to 40 1

Re: Storm and Surface Water Utility
41 to 60 1.2
61 to 80 1.4
81 to 100 1.6
N. Impervious multipliers correlate the hydraulic
impact of a parcel to its percentage of impervious surface per parcel. The
multiplier for the average single-family residence is established as one (1).
The multiplier linearly increases as the percentage of impervious area
increases. The final category has a multiplier of one and six-tenths (1.6)
which reflects the hydraulic impact on the drainage system compared to
the impact of an average single-family residence.
4. Road systems. The impervious surface area for city roads
shall be assessed thirty (30) percent of the charge established in
subsection (13)(3) of this section for impervious service areas.
5. Water quality charges.
a. The city hereby authorizes and declares its intent to
establish a water quality charge which may be added to any or all of the
above rates. The purposes of such a charge will be to finance monitoring,
testing, treatment, and control of pollutant discharges into the storm and
surface water system, including the exercise of all lawful enforcement
powers of the city. A plan for developing such charges, and a schedule and
budget for this project, shall be submitted to the city council for review
and approval before enactment.
b. Such charges should be based upon appropriate indices
of pollutant discharges which approximate each parcel's contribution to the

Re: Storm and Surface Water Utility
problem of water quality within storm and surface water facilities including
all receiving waters.
6. Undeveloped parcels shall be subject to all charges
established under this section upon development. Development shall be
determined by the date of issuance of a building permit or any other
permit for development purposes or as otherwise established by the
director of public works.
C, Beginning January 1, 2018, and on the first day of each calendar
year thereafter, the total storm and surface water system of cha gga set
forth in this section 7.05.090 will adjust by the Consumer Price Index
CPI specifically the CAI-W Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue measured from
June 1st through June 1st of the previous calendar year, if the CPI-W
