A lawsuit over a proposed storm-water management fee is going to trial after settlement talks broke off between a sewer district and about two dozen communities.

The Plain Dealer reports that the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and the communities in Cuyahoga and Summit counties couldn’t agree on the fee. The district’s proposal would amount to about $57 a year for the average homeowner. The trial is set for Oct. 31.
