萨城将加收雨水费！从$135/年涨到$205/年！
Sacramento property owners will soon pay higher stormwater fees after approving ballot measure
投票通过后，萨克拉门托的业主将很快支付更高的暴雨水费
Sacramento property owners will soon spend more on their city stormwater fee bills.
萨克拉门托的业主很快将在城市雨水费账单上花费更多。
About 52% of property owners in a mail-in election approved a measure allowing the fee increase, Utilities Director Bill Busath told the City Council at its meeting Tuesday.
市政公用事业董事比尔·布萨特(Bill Busath)周二在市议会的会议上表示，在一次邮寄选举中，约52%的业主批准了一项允许提高收费的措施。
“You did this well,” Mayor Darrell Steinberg told Busath Tuesday. “You took it to the people in the right way and you’re delivering infrastructure, a lot of jobs, and it will be good for a lot of generations to come.”
“你做得很好，”市长达雷尔·斯坦伯格周二对布萨斯说。“你们用正确的方式把它带给了人们，你们提供了基础设施，提供了大量的就业机会，这对未来许多代人都有好处。”
The city will increase the fee for most single-family homeowners by about $70 per year, from about $135 to $205 per year, based on the size of impervious surfaces.
根据防渗表面的大小，该市将对大多数独栋房屋增加大约70美元/年的费用，从每年135美元增加到205美元。
The increase will bring in about $20 million in new revenue to the city to repair and improve the city’s 100-year-old stormwater system, according to the city.
该市表示，这一增加将为该市带来约2000万美元的新收入，用于修复和改善该市已有100年历史的雨水系统。
More specifically, it would be used to protect drinking water quality; keep chemicals, sewage and human waste out of rivers and creeks; prevent sewage and human waste from overflowing onto neighborhood streets; replace deteriorating pumps that prevent flooding; and repair aging water pipelines and infrastructure, the web page said.
更具体地说，它将被用于保护饮用水质量;让化学品、污水和人类排泄物远离河流和小溪;防止污水和人类废物溢出街道;更换老化的防止洪水的水泵;维修老化的水管和基础设施。
Unlike yard waste fee increases, which the council enacted last month, stormwater fee increases require a ballot measure, according to state law.
根据州法律，与议会上个月颁布的增加庭院垃圾处理费不同，增加雨水处理费需要投票表决。
The city last increased the fee in 1996.
该市上一次提高收费是在1996年。
Property owners who are unable to afford the bill can apply for assistance under the city’s Stormwater Utility Rate Assistance program.
无力支付账单的业主可以根据该市的雨水公用事业费用援助计划申请援助。
