Did you know that Fuquay-Varina is an MS4? That means the Town is a public entity that discharges, collects, or conveys stormwater via drains, pipes, and ditches.
What is an Illicit Discharge?
An illicit discharge is any discharge, dumping, or spill into an MS4 that is not composed entirely of stormwater, except for allowable non-stormwater discharges and discharges resulting from firefighting activities.
Examples of allowable non-stormwater discharges include water line and fire hydrant flushing, landscape irrigation, uncontaminated pumped groundwater, foundation drains, air conditioning condensate, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains, lawn watering, residential and charity car washing, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and flows from firefighting activities.
