Preventing Dumping, Leaks and Spills

Our priority is preventing spills in the first place and quickly cleaning them up when they happen. We work hard to keep spills, leaks and illegal dumping out of our stormwater system. This work is vital to protecting community welfare, human health and our water.

What we’re doing:

• Publicize and operate a 24-hour, 7-days a week spill hotline.
• Respond to and investigate all calls and reports regarding concerns such as illegal dumping, spills, illicit discharges, and illicit connections.
• Train all field staff on how to prevent, identify, trace and respond to issues and concerns.
• Keep records of all calls and the resulting actions taken.
• Provide outreach about protecting our water and community health through spill prevention, reporting and clean-up.
