It is a requirement of the Village of Kohler as per a storm water permit with the DNR to educate the public on illicit discharges to the storm water system. An illicit discharge would be the dumping of any chemical, pet waste, or hazardous substance into the street or a storm basin inlet. The substance would eventually make its way into the Sheboygan River causing a pollution hazard.

To report an illicit discharge, please call the Public Works Department at
(920) 459-3881.
