[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In modern housing estates the drainage system is divided into two types of sewer. Foul sewers carry wastewater from sinks, showers, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers to the Councils Sewage Treatment Works where it is treated before being discharged into the sea. Surface or Storm Water sewers carry rainwater from roofs and roads to the nearest river system. If a sink, shower, toilet or any other wastewater appliance is connected to the surface water system instead of the foul, it will discharge untreated wastewater to the nearest river, causing pollution.[/FONT]
I can't imagine there is anything illegal about connecting pumps/sumps to your surface water system (water from roofs and paths). Problems arise when people divert toilet waste to the surface water system or flood the foul sewers with surface water.
