Welcome
Stormwater is the runoff water after it rains or snows. Stormwater picks up litter, sand, bacteria, and chemicals as it flows over the land and into storm drains, and it carries these pollutants to our streams, ponds, wetlands and coastal waters. Please see our updates highlighted below.

- Lawn fertilizers, grass clippings, and other maintenance products
- Vehicle fluids including oil and runoff from washing
- Animal waste
- Plastics and other trash
If you witness an illicit discharge into the municipal storm sewer system, please call 610.869.2138 and provide the following:
- Name
- Date of Observation
- What was observed?
- Nearest Address
- Was there an odor/color to the discharge?
If you are calling after normal business hours, please leave a detailed message. You may also submit a written summary to the municipal office that contains the information above.
