Tredyffrin supervisors this week voted unanimously to include a stormwater fee in the 2024 real estate tax bill for residents. The fee will amount to a mill in the tax bill, and the revenue will be used to repair drainage issues throughout the township. Joseph F. DiRocco, assistant manager and director of finance, said the finance committee recommended a millage rate for stormwater revenue on the real estate tax bills. DiRocco said the township was initially discussing a separate fee for stormwater management based on impervious land, which is land where flooding occurs, for each resident. However, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has not yet ruled in a West Chester case that could determine whether a separate fee based on impervious land is allowed by law. Julie Gosse, board chairwoman, said the stormwater rate would be a separate item on the real estate bill. She noted that if the separate stormwater fee is allowed by law, the township would be ready to change the method of billing.
