The Industrial Pretreatment Program enforces the City's Sewer Use Ordinance. By monitoring, inspecting and evaluating sewer usage, staff protects the environment and the City's investment in sewer conveyance and treatment infrastructure.

The Industrial Pretreatment Program provides pollution prevention educational materials and communicates specific requirements to businesses and their employees to meet federal and state requirements and protect the Water Quality Control Plant and the environment from toxic, hazardous and other illicit discharges.

    

The Stormwater program is responsible for managing programs and activities to reduce pollutants that may be discharged into the Arroyo Simi and to comply with the newly adopted Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. Some of the activities covered in the Stormwater program are investigating calls for illicit discharges, business inspections and public outreach.

For more information on the City's Stormwater Program, please email environmentalcompliance@simivalley.org, or contact the hotline at (805) 583-6420.

The Hazardous Materials Program includes the Household Hazardous Waste Program for residential hazardous waste disposal, the hazardous materials disposal services for City operations, hazardous materials emergency response services, and Hazardous Materials Awareness and First Responder training to City employees.

The Water Conservation Program implements the City's and Waterworks District No. 8's Water Conservation Ordinances.

Sustained water use efficiency can help reduce the impact of long-term water delivery shortages due to Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta restrictions. Together, we can continue our progress towards reducing water use 20% by 2020, a key goal of the Water Conservation Act of 2009.
