Every swimming pool must have adequate provision for draining the pool. Pools shall be drained into a public storm sewer, where possible. Drainage may not be made across ground surfaces unless the Building Inspector determines that there is a ditch or natural watercourse of sufficient size and gradient adjacent to the pool to carry off the water satisfactorily and without flooding land areas outside the channels of the ditch or watercourse. Permission must be obtained from the Director of Public Service before the pool is drained in whole or in any substantial amount, in order to prevent overloading the sewer or ditch in times of heavy rain. In no case shall the pool be drained, directly or indirectly, into a street.
