I don't know of any USA locale where it's legal to empty a sump pump into municipal storm drains, either. Typically they have to empty into local drywell or just onto the ground. | |

| Jun 24, 2020 at 11:56 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | In many areas, attaching sump pumps to the sanitary sewer is illegal, since it adds groundwater/stormwater to the sewage treatment plant load and contributes to causing untreated releases during storm events when the plant capacity is exceeded. In areas where the storm and sanitary sewers are the same single sewer it may be legal. | |
