155.24    SWIMMING POOL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS.
   Section 320.1 of the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code shall be amended as follows:
320.1 Backwash water and draining water: Backwash water and draining water shall be discharged to the sanitary or storm sewer, or in an approved disposal system on the premise, or shall be disposed of by other means approved by the State or local authority. Direct connection shall not be made between the end of the backwash line and the disposal system. Drains shall discharge through an air gap. The site plan for a proposed swimming pool shall indicate where pool drainage is to be directed in such a manner that:
   1. Swimming pool drainage water shall be directed away from any structure foundation.
   2. Ponding of surface water shall be avoided.
   3. Swimming pool drainage water shall be de-chlorinated before being directed to available drainage tile or storm sewer systems. If the swimming pool water is not de-chlorinated, it must be directed to the sanitary sewer at a controlled flow rate approved by the City. Please Note: Discharge of chlorinated water to the storm water system would be a violation of the EPA Storm Water Discharge Regulations and could result in a Municipal Infraction for an illicit discharge.
   4. Surface water shall not be discharged to any adjacent private property except upon drainage easements or established waterways shall not be altered so that upstream water flow is adversely affected.
   5. Water flow shall be controlled to avoid excessive volume or velocity which could cause soil erosion or create other possible hazards.
   6. Final graded lots shall comply with the grading plan and any terms of the memorandum of agreement for the approved subdivision.
