A. General Requirement. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, all storm or surface water connections, except downspouts for draining roofs, shall be connected to an approved building stormwater service pipe.
B. Roof Downspouts. All downspouts shall drain onto the ground unless doing so will result in an adverse effect on other private or public properties from such drainage. Downspouts drainage shall be diverted toward an on-site drainage system such as a yard inlet or swale, prior to entering the public storm sewer system. No roof downspout shall connect to the storm sewer service line unless the owner of the property first obtains a permit from the Director of Engineering.
