Immediate Public Health Threats
If you witness a problem that is an immediate threat to public health or property, please call Clean Water Services’ 24-hour response line at 503.681.3600.
Illegal Storm Drain Dumping
If you see someone dumping paint, oil, soap, fertilizer, or other waste into a storm drain, notify Environmental Services. Remember, what goes down the storm drain goes to the nearest stream and eventually the Tualatin River.
Drain backed up?
Homes and businesses connect to the public system through private plumbing called laterals. If you experience a backup or blockage in yours, take the steps outlined in this helpful fact sheet. If you believe an issue is part of the public system, contact us.
