The primary purpose of pollution prevention and good housekeeping is to reduce storm water pollution from municipal operations. The City has implemented several different measures to ensure pollution prevention and good housekeeping. Some examples include: Construction of a new salt dome to prevent winter-salt from polluting the storm sewer system. Operation of a street sweeper to remove dust and debris from City streets. Operation of a jet/vac-truck to maintain sanitary sewers and prevent illicit discharges which may result from sanitary sewer overflows. These are just a few examples of pollution prevention and good housekeeping.

If you have any questions about measures the City has enacted to promote pollution prevention and good housekeeping, please contact the Public Works Department at (816) 436-5442 or by e-mail at stormwater@gladstone.mo.us.
