Stormwater - Environmental Hotline
The City of Griffin Stormwater Department has recently set up an Environmental Hotline so the citizens of Griffin will be able to call and report environmental issues. The Hotline should be used to report illegal dumping of materials; watering violations; blowing of grass clippings or leaves into a street, a storm drain, a creek or other similar concerns. The Hotline is a 24 hour a day recording system giving callers the opportunity to stay anonymous or leave their name and telephone number if they wish to be contacted about their reported problem. The City of Griffin would like to ask for the help of all of our citizens in protecting our environment.
