No, we just call our electricity Hydro instead of Power since so much
of it is generated by hydro electric generators.

I wonder if your situation with not being allowed to collect water
on your property has to do with, if someone builds a pond on their
property and then you get heavy rain, all that stored water could
break through the banks and make the flooding in the area a lot worse..

Having a fee in the first place for runoff seems odd. It's not like you
have a lot of control over how much rain falls..
