Controversy develops over federal water storm treatment fees

WTOP Investigative reporter Mark Segraves reports.

But those fees aren’t being paid. The federal government calls it a tax, which they’re not required to pay.

Investigative reporter Mark Segraves — with our sister station WTOP radio — talked with different jurisdictions, attorneys, and the federal government, to find out who will wind up footing the bill.
