Conn. Agencies Regs. § 19-13-B51i - Well pit drains
(a) Where there is
no danger of flood or back flow, the water from a pit shall be drained onto the
surface of the ground. The pipe used shall be at a grade of not less than
one-eighth inch per foot toward the outlet. The junction between the pit floor
and the drain pipe shall be made watertight. The drain pipe and joints shall be
watertight to a distance of twenty-five feet from the pit. Any drain to the
ground surface shall be screened to prevent entrance of animals and
insects.
(b) No well pit drain
shall be connected directly with any sewer, house drain or storm drain. The
drainage of any well pit shall not be dependent on the operation of any pumping
system except where gravity drainage at the location cannot be secured, in
which case automatic sump pumps may be installed with the concurrence of the
approving authority.
(c) When a
well pit is constructed in impervious soil, no porous material shall be used as
a base under the well pit floor. If fill is required, it shall be clean,
impervious earth, well tamped.
