Report A Polluter
Stormwater Report-A-Polluter Hotline
The
City of Columbia City works very hard to stay current with State of
Indiana and Federal regulations regarding Stormwater Pollution
Prevention, but we need your help. If you notice a potential
Illicit Discharge into a Storm Sewer or stream, please contact the
Stormwater Illicit Discharge Hotline.
Examples of a reportable instance:
1.
Someone is observed dumping paint, used motor oil, any type of
cleaner, animal waste, cooking oils/grease, insecticide/herbicide,
fertilizer, etc. down any open grate or manhole located throughout
our community.
2.
The erosion control at a construction site is non-existent or has
failed allowing sediment to enter a waterway. Forms of erosion
control might consist of fencing, catch basin inserts, grass strips,
etc.
3.
Water quality of a waterway/ditch seems to be impaired. This
could be a visual observation such as a color change - blue when the
water is normally clear. This would also include an
observation of oil/petroleum products floating on the water surface.
Call: (260) 248-5114 during the hours of Monday thru Friday 7:00 am
to 3:30 pm.
To report a pollution issue to the state, call
IDEM's 24 hour hotline at 1-888-233-7745.
For
general Storm Sewer questions please contact:
Jeff
Walker, Operations Manager/MS-4 Operator
Office
of the Mayor (260) 248-5111
