Euless enforces a stormwater ordinance and MS4 permit that prohibits non-stormwater discharges into the city storm system, with construction sites over one acre requiring a TCEQ TPDES general permit.
Euless operates a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) under a TCEQ TPDES general permit, with rules codified in the Euless Code of Ordinances stormwater chapter. It is a violation to discharge anything other than clean stormwater into a storm drain, ditch, or creek, including washwater from vehicles, sediment-laden runoff, grass clippings, pet waste, paint, oil, and pool backwash. Commercial car washing, restaurant grease cleanup, and concrete truck washout must occur in designated areas that drain to sanitary sewer. Construction sites disturbing one or more acres must obtain coverage under the TCEQ Construction General Permit TXR150000, prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), and install silt fence, inlet protection, and stabilized entrances before grading. Homeowner pool draining must go to landscaping or the sanitary sewer cleanout, not the street. Runoff complaints are investigated by Public Works (817-685-1400), and repeat violators can face administrative penalties. The city participates in education campaigns on watershed protection for tributaries of the Trinity River.
