Can my sump pump discharge hose drain into the street?
If you live in a curb and gutter area you cannot discharge directly into the curb line. Sump lines can be discharged anywhere on your lot as long as it is at least 10′ from your lot line. You must place the discharge hose in your yard. Sump pump lines discharging into curbing can cause severe icing problems in the winter and slippery algae in the summer. Contact the Village Engineer at 262-820-3126 to see if there is a storm sewer location on your lot where a connection can be made.
