Can't figure out where the downspout goes?
Did more searching on the net, and its amazing most municipalities
don't allow downspouts to tie into the sewer system, yet NYC allows
it. The number one reason is that most sewage treatment plants gets
overwhelmed when it rains, and plus basements get backed up. They say
to divert the rainwater in your yard. I think I'm tending to lean
towards the latter.
