The Sump Pump Collector Line Program is an incentive program initiated to help the City of Fort Dodge and its citizens alleviate the amount of sump pump water being discharged onto the streets, sidewalks, and other nuisance causing areas. Under this program, where storm sewers are available, the discharge of clean sump water can be diverted from the street and other surfaces to pipes installed between the curb and sidewalk.
NOTE: It is a violation of City Code to discharge a sump pump across or over a public right of way sidewalk or crosswalk.
