Is the New Approach Less Expensive?

Yes!
Not only does the new Storm Water Management Program follow the community's vision of their future and help the city comply with the Clean Water Act, but it is also the most cost effective alternative. Being proactive in preventing problems will save Lenexa citizens money in the long run. The City evaluated the cost over a 15 year period for three alternatives and found that the new systems approach is about 25% less expensive than the current approach of retrofitting and reactive solutions.
