Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program

Polluted storm water is a large problem affecting the nations communities.

It is the leading cause of deterioration for nearly 40 percent of the nations water bodies that don’t meet water quality standards.

While the City of Tolleson only receives seven to nine inches of rain water a year, we all must do our part to help keep the storm water runoff clean.

Unlike a sewer system that carries water to wastewater treatment plants, the runoff from a rainstorm flows untreated into parks, retention basins, and rivers.

Polluted storm water can cause all types of environmental damage.

In order to learn more about how you can prevent storm water pollution, please download the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Brochure.

A Spanish version of the Storm Water Brochure is also available.
