Pool and spa water contain chemicals that may harm local waterways and wildlife if discharged into storm drains. Chapter 21 of the Duncanville Code of Ordinances prohibits discharging pool or spa water or filter backwash into the storm drain system.
This requirement supports the City's state-issued stormwater permit, which is designed to reduce pollutants in stormwater before runoff reaches local waterways.
Use one of the approved drainage methods below to help protect Duncanville's waterways and comply with applicable regulations.
Proper Disposal Options for Pool & Spa Water:
- Drain to the City Sewer
- Drain to Your Yard/Landscaped Area (excluding discharge from saltwater pools)
- Important: Do not drain swimming pool or spa water into your septic system, as it can cause system failure.
Whatever option you choose, please:
- Dechlorinate* the water by letting it sit in the sun for 5 to 10 days without adding chlorine or other chemicals, or use a chemical dechlorinator.
- Ensure chlorine levels are below 0.3 parts per million (ppm) when draining to the sanitary sewer system, and below 0.1 ppm when draining to the lawn.
- Verify the pH is between 6 and 8 before draining.
*Use a pH and chlorine test kit to check dechlorination and pH levels; available at most pool supply stores, hardware stores, and online.
| | |
DRAIN TO SANITARY SEWER
- Locate the sanitary sewer cleanout pipe on your property, typically near the front of the house and usually made of white PVC. If you need help locating the cleanout on your property, please contact a licensed plumber. 2.
- Connect a hose to a siphon or sump pump that has a maximum capacity of 50 gallons per minute. Maintain a minimum 2-inch gap between the hose and the cleanout pipe. 3.
- Pump the water from the pool or spa into the cleanout pipe. 4.
-
Replace the cleanout pipe covers when finished.
| | |
DRAIN TO YARD/LANDSCAPED AREA
- Only use this method during dry weather. Do not drain pool water onto landscaped areas within 72 hours before, during, or within 72 hours after a rain event to prevent runoff from entering the storm drain system. 2.
- Ensure the area is free of pet waste, debris, and excess fertilizer or herbicides to avoid polluting our local waterways. 3.
- Allow the water to soak into the grassy or landscaped areas of your yard. 4.
- Drain slowly to avoid flooding your neighbor’s property or any nearby areas. 5.
- Keep all water on your property.
| | Quick Reminders Before You Drain | | |
✓ DO
- Use one of the approved drainage methods
- Drain slowly
- Keep water on your property
- Replace the cleanout cap when finished
| | |
X DO NOT
- Drain into a storm drain or street
- Drain before, during, or within 72 hours of rainfall (landscaped area method)
- Allow runoff to leave your property
-
Discharge saltwater pool water onto landscaped areas
