The City of Jeffersonville provide storm water management under the authority granted by Indiana Code 36-9-27.

Jeffersonville residents living outside the Oak Park Conservancy District pay a $3.50 monthly drainage fee (included on sewer bills) to help with storm water improvement projects. Residents who live in the Oak Park Conservancy District pay a drainage fee to the district on their annual bills and the district is responsible for drainage improvements there. Businesses pay a higher drainage fee, based on the amount of impervious surface (a surface which does not permit water to seep through to the soil, such as concrete, asphalt or a building) they have.

Storm water management is an administrative function of the City Engineer, governed by local ordinances for Drainage (2006-OR-20), Qualified Professional Certification (2010-OR-012), Post-Construction Storm Water Management (2005-OR-65), Stormwater Illicit Discharge Control (2004-OR-055) and Construction Site Runoff Control (2004-OR-56).
