The City and County of Honolulu is moving forward with a years-long plan to create a Storm Water Utility for Oʻahu. What does that mean? Essentially, it means property owners would pay a fee to the city to manage storm water that runs off their property. The city says runoff ends up in streams, storm drains and eventually the ocean and is a threat to the environment.
