Legal Documents of Gatlinburg

No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater, surface water, ground water, roof run-off, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water, or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer. Car wash bays, refuse container pads, and other similar areas that are outside or otherwise exposed to the outside environment that have drains connected to the sanitary sewer must be protected from the inflow of rainwater and runoff water by being properly covered overhead. Outside the immediate basin area, the grade shall be sloped away from the drain, and a curb or berm shall divert surface water away from the drain. (1976 Code, § 13-216, modified)
