discharges into the City's drain system

Ordinance No. 07-4120 passed on May 10, 2007. Enacted laws mandate that the City of Bastrop regulate non-storm water discharges into the City's storm drain system. 

Storm Water is made of rain and melted snow that flows over the ground.  As it flows, it can pick-up dirt, debris, household chemicals and other pollutants. These will eventually be deposited into the same waters we use for fishing, swimming and sometimes for drinking.

Attention: Did you know that it is illegal to dump items into the City's storm drains? Anyone that is aware of illegal discharge or dumping anything into the City's storm drain, please contact Veolia Water 318-283-3326.
