Storm Water

What is Storm Water?  The water that flows over our streets and into our storm drains from rainstorms, garden hoses, sprinklers or other water sources is called STORMWATER.  This water NEVER goes to a wastewater treatment plant to be cleaned.  It flows directly into our local waterways, carrying with it pollutants such as used motor oil, antifreeze, paints, fertilizers, pet waste, water from washing our cars, and pesticides.

To Report Illegal Dumping, Call (866) 755-4955

For more information regarding Stormwater Pollution Prevention, call (209) 468-3073

What's New

Stormwater Community Outreach

Stormwater pollution is now considered the most significant source of water pollution in our Country.  Past water pollution control efforts were directed at industrial sources and good progress has been made.  Now, non-industrial activities impact water quality more than industrial operations.

In compliance with State and Federal requirements, San Joaquin County has developed a Stormwater Management Program committed to protecting our rivers and the Delta by involving and educating our residents in stormwater pollution prevention, regulating stormwater runoff from construction sites, investigating non-stormwater discharges, and reducing non-stormwater run-off from municipal operations.  You can access San Joaquin County's Stormwater Management Plan (PDF file) by clicking the link in the left navigation bar.
