Over the past week, some councillors have received emails from rural residents asking why the city of Ottawa wants to charge a stormwater fee when residents themselves are maintaining the ditches.
Former city councillor and the last mayor of Osgoode, Doug Thompson, says charging rural landowners a stormwater fee is “wrong.” Thompson, whose property is on well and septic, said stormwater on his road simply runs into the ditch and is absorbed by the ground, with overflow going into the stormwater ponds, which have already been paid for.
