Community Reporting
The Utilities Department needs your help protecting our water resources from illicit discharge activities. Use the Storm Water Hotline or the Anonymous Illegal Dumping and Abandoned Waste Form to confidentially alert the Utilities Department of illegal or unacceptable actions, including illicit discharges from fellow community members and businesses. Common warning signs of illicit discharges are the presence of dry weather flow (e.g., runoff of water flowing down curbs or drains), suds, sewage, oil and gas and other non-storm water related contaminants within or discharging to the City's storm water conveyance system.

Once you report an illicit discharge the information is recorded in our tracking system. A Regulatory Compliance staff member will investigate. Per the City Municipal Code, a civil penalty may be issued depending on the investigation findings and severity of the incident.

Thanks for MAKING the CONNECTION and helping the City of Santa Maria protect local water resources.
