Boston charging for stormwater runoff on your property

[parkbrau]

They tax storm water drain-off here as well. It's Added into the water and sewer bill. We have a 4,000 liter underground cistern. We use that for watering the garden and occasionally I use the water to pressure wash the pavers in the yard. We asked for an exemption, and because I did it myself and was not "approved" by the municipality, the exemption was denied.
