Filing a Tort Claim 

(This is not the information about filing a Claim for Damages. To do that, go here. The Tort Claim Act allows lawsuits by people who claim they have been harmed by torts [wrongful acts], including negligence, by public agencies or their employees.)

Take action

Apply fertilizers only when necessary and at the recommended amount. Do not use fertilizer in the rain or when rain is anticipated. Wait until the grass begins growing in March/April to fertilize, and avoid fertilizing after September/October. See video about keeping our streams and waterways clean.

Take Action

Take your car to the car wash, lay back and relax. Wash your car on a lawn or over a landscape area to absorb the liquid and limit the runoff from your property.

Take Action

Be the City’s eyes and nose. Notify the City if you see or smell something weird from a storm drain. Call the City’s Illicit Discharge Hotline at (360) 817-1565 or notify the City through CamasConnect 24/7 mobile app.

Why?

When substances such as sewage, food waste, sediment from construction sites, detergents, fertilizers, hazardous waste, dead animal and etc. enters the storm drain, it flows to lakes and rivers. This is called an illicit discharge. Only rainwater should be flowing through a storm drain.
