Stormwater Task Force

Douglas County is exploring how to create long-term, sustainable funding for managing stormwater and reducing flood risks throughout the community.

In December 2025, the Board of County Commissioners established a Stormwater Enterprise Fund and directed County staff to move forward with developing a countywide Stormwater Utility. Since then, the County has conducted community outreach, developed proposed rates as part of a consultant rate study, held public meetings, and gathered feedback from residents, businesses, agricultural interests, and other stakeholders.

The proposed utility is currently under review. In May 2026, County staff recommended pausing action on the proposed utility ordinance and rate structure to allow additional time for public collaboration, technical review, and refinement.

A Stormwater Task Force has now been established to help evaluate options and provide community-based recommendations as the County considers how to move forward.
