ONLINE COMPLAINT REPORTING
Discharges Into Storm Drains, Streets, Culverts, Rivers, Creeks, etc.

Wastewater and sewage from inside your home is treated and cleaned by waste water treatment plants or septic fields. Storm drains in the street outside your home flow directly to the streams, rivers, lakes and the ocean without treatment.

No one is allowed to dump waste of any kind onto street surfaces, drainage pipes and ditches, or into storm drains - they are only for rainwater.

If you see someone without a permit dump anything onto street surfaces, into storm drains, or into any other device built to contain rainfall or runoff, please report it by calling 1-877-623-6748 or use the form below.
If you see evidence of dumping, but did not see the act, please report the location.

Your complaint will be forwarded to stormwater officials in the area the activity occurred.

To report an Emergency, call 911.
