City of Orange issued the following announcement on July 4.
Is your sump pump running in your basement? Do you know where it discharges your extra water? If your pump hose is connected to your drain line, you are contributing to a major problem! With the infiltration of rainwater during large downpours or wet seasons, sewer lines may become overloaded and cause backups in basements or overflow at lift stations & the sewer plant.
City ordinances only allow sump pumps to drain into sanitary sewers from October 15 – April 15. Remember to connect sump pumps to discharge outdoors.
For more information, contact the City of Orange City at 707-4885.
