Did anyone experience something similar to this. Just wondering about the consequence of this deletion.

The point of discharge - location council nominate for the storm water. (Street, laneway, drain) 2. The grade in the drains. Pipework needs a min fall for it to be compliant. This will determine the height and if the pipe is above the slab well obviously that won't work. Do you have a plan to check out?
