Can I dump in the curbside sewer?

...

Alright. You guys that are trying to make the Canadians mad... STOP IT!
With our state militia all overseas (Nat'l Guard), there is nothing to stop big angry Canadians from coming down here to kick our butt. They all got passports and diplomatic immunity.
And here I live only a little ways from the border. :E

Anyways, I think the OP should pretend to wash his truck while secretly letting his graywater drain under said truck. Who would know, especially if it ran over some grass first which would probably strain it and make it legal. Also the soap would dissolve stuff already in the sewer like the Geo Method, a big plus.

Now I am against spitting on the sidewalk and grass where I'm playing ball.
Ick.

P.S.
Me and the Canadians live upstream of all you guys from here to the Gulf of Mexico.

This!

Gray water will not harm the environment anymore than road run off.

Unfortunately, there are folks who WOULD just go ahead and dump some black water at the same time.

I expect it's illegal, but really shouldn't be. The problem is, if you let folks dump their gray water, some will go ahead and sneak in a black water dump, because some folks are like that.
But gray water is not any more unsanitary than ordinary run off water in any town.

Milwaukee storm drains end up in the lake......and it would be an 'illicit discharge'......meaning it is illegal.

The following non-storm water discharges or flows are not considered illicit discharges: water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream flows, uncontaminated groundwater infiltration, uncontaminated pumped groundwater, discharges from potable water sources, air conditioning condensation, irrigation water, lawn watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool water, street wash water and fire fighting. However, these discharges need to be included in the strategy when identified by the municipality as significant sources of pollutants to waters of the state.

One could argue their "discharge" was from a potable water source, which it is, and therefore not considered an illicit discharge....just sayin....Dennis

The word is potable not portable. Potable water can be portable but portable water might not be potable.

To those that truly don't get it this is the difference
Septic systems are sized and permitted based on a PERCOLATION TEST
The LEACHING LINES are sized based on this test
The water is filtered through plant roots,soil,and substrate
This is not the same as a storm water drain that discharges directly into the river/ lake / bay.
Simply because storm water run off is not purified water is no excuse to further contaminate it because of personal expediency.
The rights of the many outway the rights of the individual .
It's called civilized society.

Excellent response Popeye. But watch out!

Must see video…

LOL wife heard me laughing and said I was having too much fun.

You just wait, I'll get you...:)

That's what we do in Canada, right? I guess that's why someone here said that people from Canada are odd. :D

Yep, that is why they have the culverts in the middle of the highway!
