How many have noticed the $10.27 charge on their water bills for storm
water fall - to reduce this the city can approve a rain garden. Well,
the city's soon to be new parking lot will be impervious and add to
the storm water runoff. Given that everything the city owns, save for
its parks, is impervious surfaces making the city the vast largest
contributor to storm water runoff, should the city be required to turn
the Gustavus property into a rain garden?
