What happens if I see a neighbor, or know of someone whos dumping trash, oil, etc. into a gutter or storm drain?
A storm drains sole purpose is to collect unpolluted storm water runoff and transport it to the Arkansas River. Dumping anything into the gutters or storm drains is illegal. To report illegal dumping or other storm drain related concerns call the Storm Water Hotline at 271-1576 or email stormwater@garden-city.org. If you feel you can talk to the person it may just be a matter of talking to him or her and explaining the detrimental effects it could have.
