Stormwater Utility Information
Gwinnett County implemented a stormwater utility in 2006. This utility provides support for major stormwater activities such as replacing stormwater pipes, reducing flooding, fulfilling regulatory requirements, and reducing pollution carried by stormwater to our waterways.

As a key component of the County's stormwater program, the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources (DWR) would like to implement strategies and practices that encourage community-wide participation and understanding of the overall stormwater program. One method that has been successfully used in other communities is the implementation of an incentive program providing "Credits" to stormwater utility fees in exchange for performing certain aspects of the community stormwater activities or in exchange for implementing practices that can reduce operating or maintenance costs for the community. A Credits Stakeholders Committee was created and developed the documents below during several meetings held in 2006. Please click here for background information on the Credits Stakeholder Committee.
