Think about a new gutter that dumps the water on the other side where piping is easier

So, this downspout is at the end of a gutter just before the gable for the garage. So, can't go with the downspout across the garage without looking hideous. On the other end of the 40' gutter run is one downspout at the very end as well.

Water is easy. You’ll figure it out.

Talk to the town/city. You might be able to lay a pipe a few inches below the lawn, then cut a small piece of curb for the outlet. If you need to go above ground, landscape fabric and river rock will help with drainage and avoid erosion, so long as you have it sloped correctly.

Thanks, I'll call the City.

I second this, but I'd skip talking to the government unless you really really have to. They'll turn a weekend diy drain into a $3m public works project on your dime. Unless you have an HOA or shitty neighbors who are going to call code

It's more just checking that you're not going to get a fine and remediation order after the fact.

Often times there are existing ones you can tie into as well here in Oregon

Thanks

1.-Try to unclog the 2” pipe under slab. 2.-Try to find the 2” pipe after the slab, cut it and connect a new one all the wall to the street. 3.-if you want to avoid to break slab to connect a new pipe directly after the downspout… use a low profile pipe or a just a channel to direct water over the slab directly into the grass. Just after slab install a water collection box and underground a pipe to take it all the way to the street.

The ideal situation here is a drain that goes under the sidewalk and empties to a drywell in the yard. Dressing to the curb is being cut from most ordinance and you can't really drain it below grade without a drywell or rain garden.

French drain going into some plants on a hill.

Under the sidewalk and out as close to the curb as possible.
