Unless they do it a whole bunch different in other states, runoff goes into 
storm drains which go into streams, creeks, rivers and eventually to the 
ocean or lake (depending on the state).  They have nothing to do with sewer 
treatment.  That water doesn't go anywhere near a sewer treatment plant. 
Whole different set of pipes.  That's why you aren't supposed to dump 
"stuff" into them.  The water isn't treated and is harmful to fish, wildlife 
and general water quality.

Actually, that's a more sensible tax than some I've heard of. If water
runs off paved areas, then it goes into the storm sewers and causes
flooding and the need for more sewage treatment. It's a user tax, more
or less.
