What to Report

• Fire hydrant flushing's
• Potable water including water line flushing's using potable water, drinking fountain overflows, lawn watering runoff, and similar sources of potable water
• Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate
• Residual street wash water and pavement wash waters where no detergents are used and no spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have occurred (unless all spilled material has been removed)
• Routine external building wash down which does not use detergents
• Drainage from landscape watering
• Rising ground waters
• Uncontaminated ground water infiltration
• Uncontaminated pumped ground water
• Foundation drains
• Irrigation water
• Uncontaminated spring water
• Water from crawl space pumps
