A. 

Water originating from other than natural sources, such as swimming pools, air-conditioning units, sump pumps or other dry weather flow, wherever practical, shall be discharged into natural watercourses on the property or connected directly into the nearest storm drainage system. These facilities may not be used for polluted matter.

B. 

Within all subdivisions and land developments, structures which have basements shall be required to have sump pump pits installed by the developer, his agent, builder or builders. In addition thereto, the owner of any lot or group of lots erecting and constructing any structure which contains a basement shall be required to install a sump pump pit. Sump pumps and floating slabs shall be installed in all residential structures in accordance with standards specified by the Township Code Enforcement Officer.

C. 

Sump pump drainage or unnatural drainage identified above must be connected either to a natural watercourse or to an underground storm drainage system. The sump pump requirement may be waived by the Township Engineer or other designated official if deemed to be unnecessary.
