Report Pollution

In Orange County, federal, state, and local laws prohibit the dumping or discharge of anything, including water runoff, to the storm drain system, with only a few exceptions*.

Each city has their own ordinances and exceptions. Contact your city for more information.

To report pollution, please either visit https://myOCeServices.ocgov.com to submit a Service Request under Water Pollution, or call the 24-Hour pollution reporting hotline at 1-877-89-SPILL (77455).

Both options allow you to request service updates or to report anonymously. If this is an emergency, call 911. Any report submitted through MyOCeServices will notify the pollution response team via email.
