Cobb County Considers $4.75 Monthly Stormwater Fee to Tackle Flooding, Residents Voice Concerns Over Double Billing

#wqeb973newz | Mableton,GA -💧 Cobb County is considering a new $4.75 monthly stormwater fee that would apply to residential properties in unincorporated areas and Mableton — while schools, churches, and businesses would be charged based on the size of their paved or rooftop areas. 🏠🏫🏢

County leaders say the fee would fund critical repairs to aging drainage systems and help reduce flooding risks across the community. Environmental groups like Chattahoochee Riverkeeper support the plan, calling it a step toward protecting public health and preventing storm damage. 🌧️🌊

But not everyone is on board — homeowners associations are worried they’ll be double-billed for shared amenities like clubhouses and tennis courts. 🏘️

Public input continues at the next Board of Commissioners meeting on Nov. 20, where a final vote is expected soon.
