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

I love global comments on Usenet.

Sewer-sanitary cross-connections are GENERALLY illegal in America.
Also, many communities have many such cross-connections which
are legal due to grandfathering of building codes even though the code
has been updated to outlaw such connections now.
