Creeks
Keep debris and trash out of our streams
Healthy, flowing creeks reduce flood risks by carrying stormwaters away from properties and roads. Don’t pollute, dump, or drain anything into our waterways. Dumping into a stream is illegal; it affects the water quality, creek habitat and can cause blockages, increasing flood risks.
Report blockages like wood or debris dumping in creeks to the Valley Water Watersheds Operations & Maintenance hotline at 408-630-2378.
Report pollution in a creek, pond, or reservoir, call 1-888-510-5151.
You can also report these issues through Valley Water's customer service portal, Access Valley Water.
