Sump Pumps into the Sanitary Sewer Cause Big Problems!
Connecting sump pumps to the sanitary sewer is illegal and can cause big prob-
lems! Sump pumps are designed to pump groundwater and rainwater. Sanitary
sewer pipes are designed to carry sewage. Usually, the sanitary sewer pipe in the
street is only 8 inches in diameter, allowing about 300 gallons of water to flow
through it in a minute. If more sewage than this tries to get through, the sewage
will surcharge and start filling up the sewer lateral pipes that run to the sewage
main from houses. When this added sewage or extra water is sent to the sewer
pipe, it will surcharge even more, eventually pushing back into someone’s base-
ment, possibly coming out of a neighbor’s toilet or washing drain.
If hooked up to a house’s sewer lateral, a half-horsepower sump pump will
pump about 60 gallons to the sewer each minute. That means that if 5 pumps are
connected to the sewer, it will be full. Normal sewage often flows in the sewer
main more than halfway already. So if two or three neighbors in a block illegally
connect their sump pumps to their sewer lateral, the flow that it trying to get
through the sewer main may be more than its capacity. The sewage in the pipe
will start backing up!
It is critical that sump pumps discharge to the yard or storm sewer, not to the
sanitary sewer. It is illegal to connect your sump pump into your sanitary lateral,
and it can cause serious problems!
