She was a passionate advocate for the environment and worked tirelessly to make our community a better place.

Help Prevent Water Pollution - Only Rain Down the Drain

The Town’s stormwater system takes rainwater away from homes and streets through the storm drain openings you see on your neighborhood curb or the grates in the pavement. Illegal dumping, also called illicit discharge, occurs when anything other than rain enters the storm drain system. Materials illegally dumped in the storm drainage system not only block the system, causing localized flooding, but also cause or contribute to water pollution. Illegal dumping and illicit discharge also violate town ordinance (Article V, Sec. 20-5502) and can result in a civil penalty.

The following items should be kept out of storm drains:

· yard waste, grass clippings

· leaves, limbs, branches

· trash

· concrete, wet or dry

· paint

· oil, anti-freeze

· grease

· fireworks

· wastewater or wash water

Call the Weaverville Public Works Department at (828)645-0606 or email dale.pennell@weavervillenc.org to report an illicit discharge or any other type of water pollution in our streams, ponds, ditches or rivers. If calling after working hours you will be prompted to leave a message which will be promptly received and handled as needed.

In case of emergencies, call 911.
