What You Need To Know

There are so many ways you can help prevent dangerous pollutants from entering the stormwater drainage system.

We’ve put together a few pages of information to help you keep Chula Vista’s stormwater system clean and healthy.

Make the right Choice.

Did you know that when fertilizer is washed into the stormwater drainage system, it causes an overgrowth of plant life that could clog pipes, disrupt drainage, and kill aquatic life?

Did you know that when you wash your car in the street, alley or your own driveway, you’re sending detergents and other chemicals into the San Diego Bay?

Please take a few moments to look over the information on the following pages.  You’ll learn about better choices for recycling, safer ways to maintain your car at home, how to properly care for your lawn, and the best ways to dispose of home improvement materials like paints and stains.

Remember, it is

Your Community.  Your Environment, and Your Choice. 
Please, help keep Chula Vista clean.
