While I am contemplating how to fix the drain problem with our
washer, I have connected the washer to a flex tube and discharge the
laundry water out the garage. The water runs across the back yard's
concrete paver and end up ponding a little in the back alley.

Apparently one of our neighbors complained to the city and they sent
a code inspector out and told us we had to stop doing it. I said
this is temporary and if I were to wash my car there it will have the
same effect. She couldn't quote me any specific violation but told
me I have to stop immediately.

Any there usually regulations against soapy water discharge from
properties? I asked her if I have a big tub in my back yard and wash
the clothes by hand and then pour the tub's water out later will it
be legal then, she said that "might" be acceptable. I don't
understand...

Do it right. You already have at least one neighbor mad at you and you
may end up with the lot of them hating you. I would be a poor bureaucrac
indeed who could not come up with some law to throw at you. I suspect it is
covered anyway.
