Re: Installing drain in garage?

It's the opposite around here...NOTHING can go into the storm drains, they are even trying to control the leaves, because the storm drains go right to the rivers. In the sanitary you are allowed a lot more because it goes to the treatment plant, but they really try to limit what you are putting in there, as you noted.

A weeping tile? What the heck is that? Actually, I can imagine what it is...wouldn't that freeze right up in winter?
