Stormwater Division

The Town of Landis is committed to protecting local streams from stormwater pollution. When it rains, pollutants such as fertilizer, oil, grease, and pet waste are washed from surfaces and carried into nearby storm drains. Since these drains are not connected to a treatment system, everything that flows into them ends up directly in the closest water body.

You can help keep our local waters clean. By visiting this site, you’ve already taken the first step—getting informed. Next, consider taking action by doing one or more of the following:

• Adopt clean water habits to reduce pollution from your home or business.

• Participate in local projects and volunteer opportunities focused on water conservation.

• Report stormwater issues to help address potential problems.

While residents, businesses, and industries are doing their part to prevent stormwater pollution, the Town of Landis is also taking proactive steps. Since 2005, we have held a Phase II Stormwater Permit, which requires us to develop and implement a comprehensive stormwater management program. This program includes the following key measures:

• Educating citizens and business owners about ways to prevent stormwater pollution.

• Involving the community in developing and implementing local stormwater initiatives.

• Identifying and removing unlawful discharges into the stormwater sewer system.

• Regulating new developments to ensure proper stormwater treatment before water reaches local waterways.

• Reducing and eliminating pollution from Town operations and activities.

If you observe illegal dumping, illicit discharges or connections, or any other issues related to the Town’s stormwater system, please report it by calling 704-857-2411, option 2, during normal business hours. For after-hours emergencies, weekends, or holidays, contact 704-857-2411, option 2. Let’s work together to protect our water resources!
