I'm presently constructing a new and largish patio area. I am trying to work out the best method of ensuring that rain-water drains away easily without causing 'lakes' at the lowest end. There is a manhole to a foul-water sewer in the middle of the patio (I'm disguising it by using an inlay manhole cover). Can I drain rain-water into a foul-water sewer or is this verboten?
