Discharge of anything other than clean rainwater into storm drains is illegal because it presents a serious threat to fish, wildlife, drinking water and marine life. The City investigates and enforces legal prohibitions against illegal dumping to the storm drainage system.

Illegal Dumping as it Occurs

If you witness illegal dumping as it is occurs, make sure to dial 9-1-1 immediately and report all relevant details (date/time, location, description of vehicle and driver, etc.) so that law enforcement can investigate.
