Because storm drains send untreated water into Lake Mead, it is unlawful for any person to drain or empty water from a swimming pool, hot tub or whirlpool bath into the street or storm drain where the publicly-owned sanitary sewer is available.

Water must be discharged into the sewer through a private connection such as a sewer lateral access port, sink, toilet or bathtub. To properly drain your pool, attach your drainage hose to your sewer clean-out pipe. The clean-out pipe is typically located by the hose bib, and may be inside a green box.  

Anyone who fails or refuses to comply shall be subject to discontinuance of service and/or penalties and charges for a water waste violation.
