high groundwater level and provides supporting groundwater data prior to the release of
building permit. In addition, sump pumps are not allowed to be connected to the sanitary
sewer system. Sump pumps are also not allowed to be connected to the drainage system
unless capacity is designed into the drainages system to accept the pumped water.
Water from sump pumps may not be discharged onto streets, such as into the curb and
gutters where they may create a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles.
Response: The applicant acknowledges the requirement to avoid basement and crawl
space foundations.
