  • What is IDDE:

Anything unlawfully discharged into the storm sewer system that isn't stormwater is considered an illicit discharge.  The NPDES Permit requires the City to develop a program to identify and eliminate thest discharges.

  • Illicit Discharge Investigations

The City inspects its stormwater system annually for illegal connections and non-stormwater discharges.  Any illicit connections or discharges are investigated, monitored, and reported.  The City can issue Notices of Violation and fines to offenders.  Ordinance 18-O-04 prohibits Illicit discharges into the MS4.
