Santa Clara City Storm Water
What is Storm Water?Storm water is runoff from rain and snow storms. A system of gutters, ditches and storm drains collects runoff and discharges it directly into natural waterways. Storm water becomes a major source of water pollution when people dump oil, trash or other contaminates into gutters and storm drains, including dirt, leaves and lawn clippings. Santa Clara City is dedicated to keeping our waterways clean and healthy by preventing storm water pollution. If you have any questions or suspect a violation please feel free to call. To report spills or dumping emergencies call (435) 673-6712, the main City phone number and after hours number. Storm Water Protection Chlorinated water is a source of pollution to our storm water system. Swimming pools are a major source of chlorinated water discharge into our storm water system. Pools have high concentrations of chlorine, which is toxic to wildlife and fish. Pool owners who drain their pools should de-chlorinate their pools before draining.
