What is a MSBU?

Interested property owners looking to connect their neighborhood to the County Stormwater Ditch Pipe system can do so through a special assessment process. This process would involve the County coordinating and paying the up-front cost for the design and construction of the water main installation.  After construction is complete, the cost is divided between the benefiting property owners and can be paid immediately or paid on their annual property tax bill over a period of 15 years. The process can be initiated by a property owner.

If interested the property owner should contact the Public Works Assessment Coordinator to discuss the neighborhood where the property owner is and potential costs to see if it would be a good candidate for this process.
