Stormwater Management

As an operator of a municipal stormwater system, the Village of Irvington is committed to the distribution of stormwater educational information to its residents, contractors that work in the Village, and other interested parties.

A key component to the Village's stormwater management plan is the identification and monitoring of outfalls. An outfall is the outlet of a drain or a sewer where it discharges into a stream, pond, lake, or river. Monitoring outfalls will involve inspections to ensure that anything entering into a larger water body is clean and free of pollutants

On an ongoing basis, Village staff will be logging the locations of any identified outfalls. As a private citizen, if you are aware of the location of an outfall, please contact Village Administrator Lawrence S. Schopfer.

24 Hour Emergency Contact

Illicit discharges that effect the Village's stormwater system cause pollution and greatly impact the water quality of the surrounding water bodies (streams, ponds, rivers). These types of discharges include the improper dumping of motor vehicle fluids or gasoline, household hazardous waste such as paints and chemicals and even litter or pet waste dumped directly into storm drains.

If you observe a potential illicit discharge, please contact the Irvington Police Department at (914) 591-8080.
