Case Notes

Sewerage System.

Stormwater utility fee was not an illegal extraction because § 14-235-223(a)(1) did not state that the fee had to be paid by any beneficiary, whether intended or unintended, of the sewerage system, and the code did not define “sewerage system” to distinguish between the wastewater sewer system and the stormwater sewer system.
