About Watershed Protection


This broad-based program uses a multi-pronged approach to reduce water pollution and improve our receiving waters and their aquatic environments.  Some of the methods that are used include:

  • public education and outreach
  • commercial/industrial facilities inspection
  • private development plan approval
  • construction development activities inspection
  • illicit discharger and illicit dumping site investigations
  • monitoring of the City’s receiving water bodies

Hotline:

Storm drains are for the sole purpose of handling rainwater overflow. Dumping trash, pollutants and debris into the catch basins is illegal. Call the Stormwater Hotline at (800) 974-9794 to report the illegal dumping.
