Everyone's saying it's illegal but does anyone have an actual law the the OP could reference for his particular location?
Unless you have been living under a rock, it comes under DEP, EPA and handful of other branches of Gov regulators not to mention YOUR local municipalities..
Ever try to build on a bare piece of land?
Building on a bare piece of land in most places requires permits, one would be for your SEWAGE. In places which do not have public sewage there is a "pit" and "perc" test which is required. Failing to get the permits, tests and approvals can result in your local gov locking you out of your home...
Have you ever had to deal with buying a home?
One of the big things when buying a home is a dye test. They dump a dye concentrate into your sink, toilet and any other drain and check to see if the dye shows up in your (or your neighbors) yard. If the dye shows up in the wrong places your bank may refuse to spot the loan until the problem is corrected. For good reason, the bank doesn't want to HAVE to pay for fixing the problem if they get stuck with the property.
If you haven't noticed, we are in the 21st century, being lazy, cheap and plain stupid with SEWAGE (BOTH grey and black) is not smart or cool.
Back as recent as the 19th century many cities had open sewers on the streets. People would simply dump their "privy" or "chamber pot" out the window and into the streets. Diseases from human waste in these open sewers caused many plague outbreaks.
If you think that there is no "laws" then YOU need to contact YOUR LOCAL municipal officials so you can get it directly from the source...
