Why can’t I just drain the water in the gutter?
If you dump sewage into a gutter, you’re breaking the law, because that water goes down storm drains and into a river, stream, ocean, lake, or wildlife area. So you can’t do that because you’re most likely violating your city’s NPDES permits.
What I recommend is fairly simple. Go to Wal-Mart or Sears/Kmart and buy a vacuum that sucks and pumps. It costs between $50.00 and $145.00 and this will help you with proper septic system emptying.
You need to hook the broom to the drain plug in the wash water tank then connect it to the other outlet on the broom with a hose and run it through the house to your toilet turn on the broom open the drain and let your toilet float down. This is a good BMP for your small dog grooming business.
