What happens if I do not correct my sump pump discharging to the sanitary sewer?

If during an initial inspection, our inspector determines that your sump pump is discharging to the sanitary sewer, you will receive written notice in the mail stating that you will have 60 days to make the correction. Our staff will then conduct a second inspection to determine if you have made the necessary correction. Failure to comply will result in a monthly surcharge of $50 added to the property’s utility bill.
