Downspout & Gutter Drainage questions from French Valley customers
- Can downspouts simply be piped out to the street or the storm drain?
- Ordinance 754 makes discharging non-stormwater into the storm drain system a violation, and separately prohibits depositing pollutants in any street, alley, sidewalk or storm drain. Rain off a roof is the flow the system is built for. County grading notes add that all existing drainage courses and storm drain facilities shall continue to function, so an outlet cannot block what is already there.
- Can the air conditioning condensate and the footing drain tie into the downspout line?
- Ordinance 754 lists landscape irrigation and lawn watering, irrigation water, foundation and footing drains, water from crawl space pumps and air conditioning condensation among discharges permitted only when properly managed. They are not prohibited outright, but they are not in the same category as rainwater either, which is why combining them into one buried line is a decision worth making deliberately.
- Half our roof drains toward the slope at the back of the lot. Where should that go?
- County grading notes require a berm 5 feet wide by 1 foot high along the top of all fill slopes steeper than 3:1. Concentrated roof water arriving at that berm has to be given somewhere to go, because the same notes require excess or concentrated drainage to be contained on site and prohibit increasing the drainage that crosses a property line.
