I am creating a reservoir for water from my sump pump. I have the 6' hole
dug, and I laid the concrete footer. I am about to lay the blocks for
the
walls now. My question is about pipping through the walls. For the
outlet pipe which will be on the bottom of the reservoir, should I run a
3" PVC pipe through a hold I cut in a cinder block at the bottom and let
the
vertical rise occur in the dirt outside of the reservoir? Or should I
let the pipe go up on the inside of the wall and out the top of the
reservoir, and forget cutting a hole in the concrete block?

I will have a 4" intake and a 4" overflow on the opposite side of the
reservoir which will be holes in the concrete blocks near the top.


Thanks for the tips.

How are you sealing the reservoir? Neither cinder block nor concrete are
waterproof.

Damtite.

Thanks. I'll research it.
