What is an Illicit Discharge? Anything other than stormwater that is disposed of into a storm sewer system, and it is illegal! Some examples are paint, oil, cooking grease, laundry detergent, pesticides, fertilizers, pet waste, and yard waste.

So my neighbor dumping his urine jugs down the storm drain is a no go? Note taken
Yard waste, such as grass clippings and leaves, do not belong in a storm drain. Not only do they clog the storm system and cause unnecessary flooding, but organic debris also pollutes our waterways and can cause eutrophication – a reduction in oxygen levels in our rivers and lakes which harms and kills aquatic wild#cleanthedrainsd#recycleyardwasted#SWPPP##washmow#WaterWiseWednesdaynesday
So will you be cracking down on people blowing their yard clippings onto the street and sidewalks 🤷♂️
I’m pretty sure the 5 inches of rain in 12 hrs flushed out any blockage that may have occurred.
There is a large tree that fell during the last storm laying in Busch Creek behind Cherry Ln that will cause problems if not removed. I left a voice mail with the public works dept yesterday.
Also grass clipping don't belong in the street..dangerous for motorcycles
