Statesboro residents and all property owners in the city have yet to receive the first bill for the city's new stormwater fee, but will soon, and the city has a fledgling stormwater program with two employees. Created by a vote of City Council in January, the new fee was first announced to take effect with the July billing. This was delayed to the bills that go out after Aug. 1, but the fee was counted as in effect from July 1, the start of the city's fiscal year.
