All sump pumps must be hard plumbed to a pipe which discharges the water from the sump basin to the front of the building across and/or onto residential yard and towards the city street in such a manner that the water discharges into the street and daylighted into the front yard, curb, and gutter. If the building is constructed in such a manner that it walks out to the rear of the property away from the street or the topography of the property is such that front discharge is not practical, the sump pump shall be hard plumbed through pipe into the rear of the lot. Regardless of whether the sump pump is hard plumbed into the front or rear of the lot, the property owner shall be solely responsible for maintaining and controlling the flow of the water from the sump so that it does not disrupt neighboring property.
