Not everyone follows the rules when it comes to what can go down storm drains. Although you might not be able to stop them, you can help prevent the damage that storm drain pollution causes. Make sure to call your local stormwater hotline if you see any of the following:

​

•  Someone dumping any substance (leaves, grass clippings, chemicals, paint, trash, etc.) into a storm drain.

• Water flowing in a storm drain or ditch when it has not rained in 72 hours.

•  A storm drain, ditch, stormwater pond, etc. with particularly smelly water, an oily sheen, or obvious discoloration.
