Is it okay to discharge chlorinated pool or spa water into my alley or street?
Chlorine, at low concentration, is typically not a problem. Please make sure the water has been dechlorinated (concentration of less than 0.1 parts per million (ppm) with a pH balance of 7 to 8) before discharging it into streets and alleys. The discharged water ultimately enters lakes and creeks and if chlorine concentration is high, it could kill the fish.
