ᐅ Is it possible to install wastewater drainage in the basement?

Hello,

I am planning to build a new single-family house with a basement. My question is whether it is possible to drain the wastewater from the basement directly into the sewer system without the need for a lifting station. Specifically, I am wondering if the sewer is deep enough. The basement is planned to have a clear height of 2.5 to 2.7 meters (8.2 to 8.9 feet), and the basement ceiling should be at ground level. However, I cannot determine this from the sewer plan (126/7). It would be great if someone could help me with this and explain a bit. Are any other details needed? This is only a cross-section from the zoning plan, not from my house.

Thank you very much

This is indeed an aspect to consider. In that case, the lifting system acts as a form of insurance against severe flooding. It is certainly something you do not want to experience.
