You need to clarify what you are asking.
When you mention "Sewer" some people think of storm water drains, some think of the city's sanitary sewer system.
If you are talking about the storm water system, NO, nothing but rain down the storm water drains. The debate, complaints about all the crap in the streets goes there when it rains, blah, blah, blah. The Law is the Law.
If you are talking about the city sanitary sewer system, you need to call your city and talk to them about their requirements as city to city they are different. Some will let you send everything down the cleanouts, some say to separate the oil/water and sediment and the gray water can be sent there, some say to take it all to a recovery plant.
Here, it is ok to separate the sediment and oil from the water and send the gray water to the city sanitary sewer. If you want to haul it to a recovery or waste water plant that opens up another can of worms.
1. Do you have a waste hauler's permit?
2. Do you have a D.O.T. approved tank/vehicle?
3. Do you have insurance for hauling waste?
4. Do you have a Bill Of Lading or Manifest in the vehicle in case you are stopped for inspection by a Police officer or State Trooper or if there is an accident?
5. Do you have a MSDS for the hazardous waste you are hauling in case you are stopped for inspection or if there is an accident?
6. If you are hauling over 1000 pounds (about 120 gallons of dirty water with chems in it or chem residue) do you have placards on all 4 sides of the container/truck/trailer?
7. If you are hauling hazardous waste and have the larger quantity as stated above, do you have the CDL Class B or A with the "X" endorsement to haul hazardous waste?
This is stuff I had to learn this year about getting my CDL to drive my Big Bucket Truck, even though I am not hauling hazardous waste, it is still required knowledge. I asked a couple state troopers about this too just to make sure and they verified it.
This is on all United States roads and highways, not just in Texas. They are doing more routine inspections and stops so make sure that all containers are properly labeled as that can be a fine if they are not. It is happening here and will be happening where you live also soon.
I am not mentioning this to be a pain in your a**.
Just a FYI for those that do not know so you don't get stopped and look clueless and end up having your trailer impounded for not being street legal and D.O.T (Department Of Transportation) approved for hauling hazardous waste.
There is more to this but that is what I remember off the top of my head.
