How Residents Can Help
You can help keeping our environment and local waterways clean and safe by assisting the Auburn Department of Water Pollution Control with simple clean-up and preventive maintenance techniques:
- Keep debris, snow, ice and leaves off the top of catch basins in the street. Items like trash and leaves left on top of catch basins contribute to overland and street flooding during wet weather events. If you notice a catch basin that is clogged or full, call 260.925.1714 to report it.
- After a heavy snowfall, assist the Auburn Fire Department by uncovering fire hydrants that may become buried in snow.
- Do not dump motor oil, antifreeze, gasoline, trash, paint, etc. down catch basins. Many catch basins across Auburn lead directly into Cedar Creek.
- Remember it is illegal to connect household down spouts and sump pump drains to a city sanitary/combination sewer. If you have information regarding someone dumping substances into a city sewer, call 260.925.1714.
If you feel the substance could cause harm to human life or has the potential to be hazardous, contact the Auburn Police Department at 260.925.1500.
