Stormwater Funding

Cobb County Water System (CCWS) currently spends about $8.5 million each year on stormwater management services.

Stormwater is funded through water and sewer fees with customers in unincorporated Cobb receiving stormwater services paying higher rates than customers within city limits who do not.

How Cobb’s Services Compare

CCWS provides services that other utilities do not provide, such as accepting detention ponds in new subdivisions. There are services some other utilities provide that CCWS does not currently provide, like maintaining open channels for a short distance from the end of a public pipe.
