Report Storm Water Pollution

Nothing besides water is allowed to be dumped or allowed to flow into a storm drain. This includes washwaters, sewage, automotive fluids, construction materials, paint, sediment and/or silt, and food wastes. Reporting incidents of water pollution problems such as illegal dumping or discharges helps keep our local creeks, San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean clean.

When to make a report?

• When you notice unusual odors in or near the storm drain.
• When you find dumped waste in or near the storm drain.
• When the drainange system has unusually large flows during dry periods.
• When you see someone illegally dumping anything into the storm drain.
  
  Note: If you are reporting an emergency situation that could result in imminent or substantial danger to the health and safety of persons, call 911.
