Who should I call to report an illegal discharge to the storm drain system?
The City’s storm drain system collects storm water runoff and eventually discharges to the Brisbane Lagoon or directly to the Bay. Since discharges from the storm drain system are never treated, pollutants will eventually reach the Bay and may harm aquatic life or impact other beneficial uses, such as recreation or fishing. Discharges of material other than storm water to the storm drain system should be immediately reported to the City’s Public Works Department at (415) 508-2130 during business hours or to the Police Department at (415) 467-1212 during non-business hours. More information on impacts of pollution in the storm drain system can be obtained at the San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program website (www.flowstobay.org).
