    Maybe they should suspend them permanently. Most subdivisions in Fishers are governed by HOAs and we already pay to maintain our own retention ponds which is were our storm water drains to. Does it really cost $80/ household for this Obama era mandate which is another tax on the homeowner to pay for government regulation and overhead? I’m guessing our water is just as good now as it was pre-Stormwater money grab. Where is all that money going to? Prob government employees to collect it and spend it. Not sure why they don’t at least bury it in the property tax bill… if they didn’t have to collect it privately it would probably get cut in half!
