Urban stormwater programs provide mandated and discretionary public services of convenience, security, and environmental enhancement. Due to their increasing complexity and funding needs, they have become more complex to organize and finance. Competing visions for them are common and how communities value these services creates a challenge to measure effectiveness and levy charges. Usually, two organizational models compete, the tax-supported public works model and the fee-based utility model. Taxpayer revolts led to the utility model, which creates new revenue streams and has been widely accepted but not universally. State laws provide the legal structure for stormwater finance, and research showed the utility model to be accepted commonly in the West Coast and Mountain regions, in Florida and along the southern part of the East Coast, as well as in parts of the Central region of the United States. The public works model is prevalent in much of the Northeast, the noncoastal Southeast, and parts of the Central region, where programs vary from state-to-state. Prospects for stormwater programs indicate more experiments with program organization and finance as communities seek to balance responsibilities. The competing views of stormwater program organization and finance s will join larger issues of local government roles in solving social and environmental problems and outcomes will be a bellwether of commitment to sustainable and livable communities
