PORT ANGELES — People who own property in the city could pay an additional $36 to $360 annually beginning next year if the City Council approves a new stormwater control utility Tuesday night.

The council has scheduled a public hearing on the issue for 7 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St. The hearing could be continued until the council’s Sept. 17 meeting.

The utility charge, designed to provide funds for environmental controls on stormwater runoff, would be collected beginning Jan. 1.

The maximum monthly charge would be $3 for single-family homes and duplexes, billed to the property owner.
