Can pump seal water be discharged to a pump wet well?
Pump seal water shall only be discharged to a wet well if the seal water is free of contaminants and of equal water quality to the water contained in the wet well. A finished water pump utilizing plant service water for the pump seal water source cannot discharge the seal water into the wet well as this installation would be a cross connection between potable and non-potable water systems.
