You can help the City of Bend keep unwanted materials out of our system. When reporting issues please provide as much information about the spill you see as possible, such as the type and color of the spill, where you saw it, the time you noticed it, and the nearest cross streets. Also, let us know the best way to contact you if we need more details. If you can, take a picture of the spill or discharge.
