Soapy wash water should never be dumped down a storm drain.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Tips
- Never dump dirty water or chemicals outside or into storm drains. Dispose of cleaning water down interior drains and call EHS at 982-4911 for proper disposal of excess chemicals.
- Make sure all employees know how to properly read chemical labels and use the chemicals according to instructions.
- Minimize the use of chemical cleaning products where possible.
- Do not dump cooking oils or grease down the drain. Save these in a sealed container for proper disposal or recycling.
- Do not wash out trash cans outside unless you are washing above a drain that empties to the sanitary sewer.
To report an illicit discharge, spill, or unusual water condition call 982-4911!
