Any discharge of stormwater, groundwater, pond overflow, well water or water from residential, industrial or commercial air conditioning systems from a sump pump system shall discharge onto the resident’s own property or city street. In no event shall any outlet from a sump pump system discharge water onto another person’s property or in a manner as to cause it to go upon another person’s property or allow it to discharge into the city’s sanitary sewer system. The discharge from a sump pump shall not be cut into the curb or gutter on any street or alley without first obtaining written approval by the Chief Building and Code Official. Any alternation of a curb or gutter without written approval will result in the city repairing the curb or gutter to its original condition and assessing the associated cost against the property owner. The discharge line from the sump pump shall be of rigid construction, without valves or quick connectors for altering the path of the discharge. It shall be unlawful for any person to allow any other fluids to flow into or upon any public thoroughfare from that person’s home, property or from any vehicle or vessel. Under no circumstances will sanitary sewer-contaminated water be permitted to discharge to the city street.
