Pool drainage
Before draining any pool, please contact West Bay Sanitary District at 650-321-0384.
When designing drainage for all swimming pools, pool decks, fountains and spas:
- Backwash drains shall be directly connected to the sanitary sewer by permit from the sanitary sewer company.
- The main drain shall not be directly connected to either the sanitary sewer or the storm drain system.
- Only temporary connections are allowed from the main drain to the sanitary sewer.
- Obtain plan approval and a permit from the sanitary sewer company for temporary and permanent drainage connections.
- Pool decks may drain to landscaped areas where practicable.
