Actually, unless he's sticking a hose down a storm drain--and maybe not
even then, other than aesthetics (which have never seemed to concern
Larry)--there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's a lot more
environmentally friendly than dumping a tank at sea. Everything on land
including bird poop ends up in the sewer...and everything in a
sewer--including the contents of all the holding tanks that are pumped
out--ends up in a sewage treatment plant.

I know quite a few people who have trailer boats who've installed
connections to their sewer lines at home so they can dump their tanks.
