Stormwater pollution
This page details how you can avoid stormwater pollution, where you can report it and tips for businesses in the hospitality, construction and automotive industries.
Quick links
Avoiding stormwater pollution
Whatever goes into the drain outside your house or business - whether poured in intentionally or washed down with rainwater - will end up in our waterways untreated. The only thing that should go down stormwater drains is rainwater.
The Otago Regional Council has some great tips on preventing stormwater pollution.
How to report pollution
If you notice pollution, please contact the Otago Regional Council Pollution Hotline immediately.
Tips for businesses
We've produced some posters for businesses in the hospitality, construction and automotive industry. These provide some simple tips to help keep our lakes, rivers and environment clean.
