    Can I discharge water from my swimming pool into the sewer?

    No. Highly-chlorinated and/or chemically-treated water that is discharged into the wastewater collection system is considered a “slug dumping” and is illegal. Pools that have an overflow drainage system also cannot be connected to or discharged into the system because that is considered I&I, which is also illegal.

    Pool water must be dechlorinated before being discharged into the nearest ditch or storm drain, according to Storm Water regulations, which can be found here.
