  POLLUTION PREVENTION 
 

Efforts to minimize or eliminate the discharge of certain pollutants at their source are warranted because wastewater treatment plants are not capable of removing those substances completely.

Report spills or illicit discharges to the Water Resources Division:

Mon.-Fri. 8 am to 5 pm

960-8100

Outside business hours

960-8160
