What to Report

The Engineering Division can respond to citizen pollution complaints and spills that threaten our creeks or water bodies:

  • A description of the potential pollution
  • The location of the problem
  • The source of pollution or the person(s) responsible
  • Your name and a phone number where you can be reached if the investigator needs further information (Caller names and phone numbers are confidential.)

When to Report

It is very important to report pollution problems while they are in progress or immediately after they are seen to ensure a rapid response and the identification of the pollution and source.

Please note that 911 must be called first if there is any threat to life or property during a spill incident.
