Plumber and Contractor Certification
Through its Correct Connect program, the Department of Public Works is working with residents and businesses in Indianapolis to ensure that improper clear water connections from roof downspouts and sump pumps are disconnected from the sanitary sewer. Downspouts and sump pumps that connect to the city sewer send rainwater into the sewer system. During wet weather, the clear water that flows directly into the sanitary sewer overwhelms our system and causes sewers to overflow into our rivers and streams.
Chapter 671-23 of the Revised Code of the Consolidated City of Indianapolis-Marion County prohibits clear water connections, such as downspouts and sump pumps, into the city's sanitary sewer system.
This spring, DPW will begin sending notices to property owners with potentially illegal downspout connections, who will be required to come into compliance with city ordinances prohibiting clear water connections into sanitary sewers.
Residents may need your services!
