Use home sewer cleanout as dump station?
I have found references to dumping RV tanks into home sewer cleanouts on other forums, but nothing definitive. In colder climates, it's not allowed for fear that the hose will stay connected for more...

Any home sewer clean out at a home goes into a sanitary line. Some houses have a storm drain at the curb of the property, but I'de like to believe that all of us would know the difference!
No, not a storm drain - a storm water management system on my property consisting of 2 underground dry-wells and an overflow pipe that runs off into the edge of my front yard. It consists of buried 4" white PVC pipe with three 4" clean-outs over a couple-hundred-foot run. I didn't know any of it was there until I started pulling the caps off of the clean-outs. The plumbing is identical to my sanitary sewer line, including the clean-outs, and also in the same general area.
My point is that a white cap sticking out of the ground may not necessarily be a sanitary sewer clean-out.
