Please see below a profile and plan view of a soakaway (also known as a dry well) installed on a residential property connected to the home's downspout. The drawing depicts how the installation can be installed with a typical downspout disconnection (or bypass), and fitted with an overflow that connects to the home's stormwater lateral that then enters the municipal system. This configuration of a soakway allows for full infiltration and includes an inspection port for monitoring purposes.
Drawings are from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's [https://www.njstormwater.org/bmp_manual2.htm NJ Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual]. <ref>https://www.njstormwater.org/bmp_manual2.htm</ref> document.
