(A) Permits.
(1) Dry weather water outlets are prohibited from discharging directly onto any public property, public right-of-way, public street or public sidewalk if such discharge creates or contributes to a public hazard or public nuisance. No person shall hereafter construct, build, establish, replace or maintain any dry weather water outlet which discharges onto a public right-of-way, public street, public sidewalk, roadside ditch, or other public property maintained by the village without first obtaining a permit to do so from the Administrator.
(2) Failure to obtain a permit from the Administrator for a dry weather water outlet discharge onto a public street, public sidewalk, or other public property shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
(B) Sump pumps. Sump pumps installed to receive or discharge groundwater or stormwater runoff shall be connected to a storm drain where possible or discharged into a designated stormwater drainage facility. No sump pump shall discharge directly onto a street surface or public sidewalk. Sump pumps are prohibited from discharging in any way that would cause water to flow onto any public sidewalks, streets, or driveways within the public right-of-way. No sump pump outlets shall be connected to or discharged into a sanitary sewer.
(C) Footing drains. Footing drains and drainage tile shall discharge into a storm drain or other designated stormwater drainage facility. No footing drains or drainage tile shall be connected to a sanitary sewer or be discharged directly onto a street surface or public sidewalk.
(D) Discharges.
(1) Sump pumps, footing drains, downspouts, and other dry weather water outlets shall discharge not less than five feet away from the nearest property line. Such outlets shall not discharge directly onto an adjacent property.
(2) All dry weather water outlets shall be operated and maintained by the property owner. Where mutual sump pump outlet pipes or drainage tiles are provided for use by multiple properties, an appropriate property owners association shall be designated to provide for the operation and maintenance of said drainage facilities.
(E) Downspouts and roof drains shall discharge onto the ground or be connected to a storm drain. No downspouts or roof drains shall be connected to a sanitary sewer or be discharged directly onto a street surface or public sidewalk.
