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.    

If you notice pollution, please contact the Otago Regional Council Pollution Hotline immediately.  

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.
