Amid all of its other problems, the Richmond School Board is now facing a $1 million charge for stormwater control.

Like every other property owner — including churches and the federal and state governments — the city school system faces a bill for the utility.

The $1 million represents four years of unpaid bills. RPS stopped paying in 2010 and is now being dunned.

School Board member Kim Gray said that she recalls being told that the city had notified RPS that the city would pick up the tab.

But the Department of Public Utilities, which has continued to bill the school system, has no record of such an agreement.

Mayor Dwight C. Jones said Wednesday that he plans to work with the school system to resolve the matter.

“We’ll work out a payment plan,” he said, and “then take care of it in the next budget cycle.”
