Port Hueneme FAQ
Where does stormwater go in Port Hueneme?
Storm drains in Port Hueneme discharge directly to the Pacific Ocean without treatment. This is why preventing pollutants from entering the storm drain system is critical.
Can I wash my car in the driveway?
Car washing should be done on a permeable surface (like a lawn area) to allow water to filter into the ground, or at a commercial car wash that recycles water. Do not allow soapy water to flow into storm drains.
What is LID and do I need it?
Low Impact Development (LID) includes features like permeable pavers, rain gardens, and bioswales that manage stormwater on-site. New development and significant redevelopment projects must include LID features.
