In June 2020, the Millcreek City Council adopted a Storm Water Utility Fee. This was done to identify, repair, and upgrade the dated storm water infrastructure beneath Millcreek's roads.

Before adoption of the utility fee, road and storm drain projects competed for funding. Most storm drain projects get completed after a failure and constitute emergency expenditures. These emergency expenditures would delay much-need road improvements throughout the city. Our city engineers and City Council determined that a more practical and cost-effective way to carry out these storm water projects would be to identify them in advance, schedule them for ideal construction windows, and bid them out.
