The Environmental Services Spill Protection and Citizen Response section investigates pollution going to, threatening, or leaving Portland's sewer system. Someone washing paint down a storm drain, a strange looking discharge coming from a pipe on the river, or sewage coming out of a manhole are all things Spill Protection and Citizen Response investigates.  You can report pollution by calling the spill hotline at 503-823-7180 or by emailing . It's also a good place to call if you don't know who to contact about an environmental concern or question.  To find out more, click here.
