Protecting Our Lakes and Rivers From Storm Water Pollution

The stormwater drainage system collects rainwater off hard surfaces such as pavement and roof tops. After entering the storm drain, water is routed to the nearest lake, pond, or river.

Anything that enters the drainage system besides rainfall is considered an illicit discharge and is a violation of Fruitland Park and the Lake County's Illicit Discharge Ordinances.

These discharges include grease, oils, and detergents. They have the potential to kill fish and restrict recreational activities such as swimming and fishing.

To report an illicit discharge inside the City of Fruitland Park, please call the Public Works Department 352-360-6795.
