(a) All premises shall be graded and maintained so as to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water thereon or within any building or structure located thereon. All storm drainage of roofs and paved areas, yards and courts, other open areas on the premises, and sump pumps shall not be discharged in a manner that creates a safety hazard to persons and/or property by reason of inadequate and or improper construction, or maintenance or manner of discharge.
(b) Roof drains and sump pump discharge shall not be discharged within ten (10) feet of, or directed toward, the structure owned by another person. Swimming pools shall not be drained onto the property of another.
(c) Every person owning property shall provide and maintain adequate grade and drainage adjacent to the perimeter of the structure to adequately direct surface water away from the structure.
(d) Drainage Area Protection. Every person owning property, through which a drainage area passes, shall keep and maintain that part of the drainage area within the property reasonably free of trash, debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstacles that would pollute, contaminate, or significantly retard the flow of water through the drainage area. In addition, the owner shall maintain existing privately owned structures within or adjacent to a drainage area, so that such structures will not become a hazard to the use, function, or physical integrity of the drainage area. The property owner shall be responsible for maintaining and stabilizing that portion of the drainage area that is within their property lines in order to protect against erosion and degradation of the drainage area originating or contributed from the property.
