City Council received a first reading Tuesday of an ordinance that, if approved, will create a monthly fee on virtually every address in Statesboro for the improvement and maintenance of storm drains. For single-family homes, the fee will be a flat $3.95 per month. But businesses, schools, churches, civic organizations and owners of office and apartment complexes will be charged $3.95 for every 3,200 square feet of impervious surface area.
