Utilities Commission Proposes Updates to Stormwater Utility Rules and Regulations

MOUNT VERNON – The City of Mount Vernon Utilities Commission has worked to update the
Stormwater Utility Rules and Regulations. In accordance with Chapter 920 of the Mount Vernon
Code of Ordinances, the Utility Commission has established Stormwater Utility Rules and
Regulations which are to ensure proper ongoing operation and maintenance of stormwater control
measures and the function of the Stormwater Utility. Prior to Council committee meetings and
legislation, the Commission is asking the public for their review of the updates.

The rules and regulations have been posted to the City of Mount Vernon Website at
MountVernonOhio.org and are titled “Stormwater Utility Rules and Regulations (PROPOSED
UPDATE)” under the “Stormwater Utility Information” section of the Stormwater tab within the Utilities
tab. Those that review the rules and regulations can email comments to eng4@mountvernonohio.org
or drop them off at the Engineering Department Office at 40 Public Square by May 11, 2022. All
comments will be collected and reviewed and further edits to the rules and regulations will be made
prior to gaining final approval from the Utilities Commission and then further adoption by City Council.
Please call (740) 393-9528 if there are any questions about the public review process.
