Stream Pollution and Illegal Dumping

Protecting our streams from pollutants is not just good environmental stewardship, it is critical to ensuring a clean water supply for the Town's drinking water.  Leesburg's primary source of water is the Potomac River. 

Help protect our Town's water by reporting stream pollution, which can take many forms, including:

• lawn chemicals;
• pet waste;
• fluids from automobiles;
• dumping into storm drains;
• and litter. 

It is also a violation of State and Federal laws to discharge anything that is not permissible into sewers systems without a permit.  For more information on illegal discharge and reporting, check out Department of Public Works Illicit Discharge Fact Sheet.

You can use the online form to report illicit discharge or illegal dumping.
