I figured I'd check here first.
My house was built before nearly every other one on the block. (1920s) It was built before the street had plumbing.
Later, sanitary plumbing was added, but there's no connections from the separate storm sewer to my property. All my neighbors around me with houses 1930 and newer have their gutters draining to the storm sewer.
I have to put in some new drainage to move our gutter water and any surface water away from the house.
Ultimately, I have 2 options: Connect to the city's storm sewer system or set up a drywell system.
So, if I do the trenching to the sidewalk; and install piping to the sidewalk can anyone give me a BALLPARK idea of cost of connecting to a Storm drain? I know fees vary a LOT, but I'm wondering if just connecting from the property line to the street is a 1-2K job, or a 6-8K job? Obviously there's fees that the city charges for the connection as well. I'm just trying to see if it's even worth calling a plumber and having an estimate done.
