Soapy wash water should never be dumped down a storm drain.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Tips
Never dump dirty water or chemicals outside or into storm drains. Dispose of cleaning water down interior drains and call OEHS at 982-4911 for proper disposal of excess chemicals.
Make sure all employees know how to properly read chemical labels and use the chemicals according to instructions.
Minimize the use of chemical cleaning products where possible
Do not dump cooking oils or grease down the drain. Save these in a sealed container for proper disposal or recycling.
Do not wash out trash cans outside unless you are washing above a drain that empties to the sanitary sewer.
To report an illicit discharge, please call 982-4911
