The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires operators of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) to develop and implement a Storm Water Polution Prevention Program to minimize the discharge of contaminates into surface waters. Ambler Borough is committed to improve the local water quality, and educate resident in how to help. Our Additional Government Information page contains information that explains surface water contaminants, and what the Department of Environmental Protection does to help communities mitigate the polution.
