STORM WATER POLICY
Only rain water is allowed in storm drains!
At no time is trash, debris, grease, ice, or any type of liquid to enter a storm drain. These drains are connected to the ocean, which means that any trash or liquid that goes down the storm drain automatically becomes pollution. It does not matter if it is “just water.” If it is not rain water, it is not allowed in the storm drain.
San Diego Municipal code 43.0301 makes it illegal to pollute storm drains. Vendors must dispose of all pollutants such as ice, trash, dirt, unfinished beverages and any other type of trash in the proper manner. Failure to comply with Storm Drain protection WILL result in forfeiture of deposit and/or citations by city officials.
