    Dry well install sump pump
    I have a puddle of water where my sump pump drains. In the spring it goes off about once every 5 minutes. Can I install a dry well in Colorado Clay. How deep does it have to be? What other o[tions do I have?

    You will be surprised how big it has to be. It has to be sized. Can be multiples in series or stacked. Must have overflow pop up. You could save water for irrigation.

    You can move the discharge further away (pop up) or get it to the storm system.
