Why should I disconnect?
During a heavy storm, each downspout on your home can deliver 12 gallons a minute to the sewer system, which can contribute to basement backups and sewer overflows. By simply disconnecting a downspout, you can make a difference in keeping excess water out of the sewer system.
Who Should Disconnect?
Nearly Everyone! Downspouts that are connected to the combined sewer system and
any downspouts illegally connected to the sanitary sewer.
*It's important to check
with your municipality to make sure you can legally disconnect and that you d
isconnect correctly.
