Report Water Pollution 24/7 via Bilingual Hotline
Only you can prevent water pollution.
The City of Malibu recently introduced a water pollution prevention hotline as a way to improve local water quality. Residents can call (310) 359-8003 to report environment and public health threats.
The hotline is staffed with bilingual operators seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and will immediately notify appropriate City staff to respond to the incident.
Examples of reportable activities include:
- Sewage discharges onto the ground, into storm drains or surface waters
- Overflowing onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS also known as Septic Systems)
- Septic or gray water (soapy water from washing machines or car washing) flowing towards storm drains or surface waters
- Pollution entering storm drains or surface waters
- Contamination to creeks, lagoons, or the ocean
- Dry-weather discharge from pipes
- Dumping into drains and/or surface waters
- Construction site soil or debris entering the streets, storm drains, or surface waters
- Polluted runoff from construction storage or leaking dumpsters
