I know someone who connected his floor drain to the sanitary sewer, but that
is thoroughly illegal; and wrong to boot.

I know someone who connected his sump pump to his basement sink. This
in one of the four houses here where the most frequent cause of
basement flooding was the stream going over the top of manholes in the
sewers, filling the sewer system and backing up through that same
basement sink.

I told the new owner to fix this about a year ago. Thanks for
reminding me to tell him again.
