Surface Water Management Utility Service Charge
Pierce County Planning & Public Works is responsible for surface water management in unincorporated Pierce County. In 1988, the Pierce County Council established the Surface Water Management (SWM) Utility as a division of the Public Works Department.
The County Council established a per parcel service charge dedicated to fund the services SWM provides. The service charge is similar to other charges for services such as sewer and water utilities.
