Stormwater & Pollution Prevention
Safe storm water drainage is very important for our environment. Here is everything you need to know about utility fee and pollution prevention.
Stormwater Utility Fee
The Town of Addison has established a Stormwater Utility fee to begin addressing a number of capital projects and maintenance items related to stormwater (drainage) that are not currently funded through the General Fund. Monthly charges for stormwater (drainage) service will be included in utility bills beginning in January 2013.

Mulching Program
Mulch allows conservation of water by requiring less irrigation use for plants. The mulching process also requires less fertilizer due to the natural break down of the mulch. To have the Town pick up your extra yard clippings and make them into mulch used around in Town parks just call (972) 450-2871 to schedule a pick up.
