Private residential drainage systems including, but not limited to, roof drains, sump pump discharge pipes, and French drains, are not part of the minor system. Discharges from private residential drainage systems must terminate no fewer than four (4) feet inside the boundary line of the private property generating the discharge or four (4) feet from the public right-of-way, whichever is closer to the discharge. Such discharges must not be connected to the minor system without approval of the City Engineer. Such discharges terminating closer than four (4) feet from the boundary line of the private property or the public right-of-way, or terminating within the public right-of-way or another public or private property, are declared to be a public nuisance and may be abated at the cost of the property owner in accordance with State or municipal law.
