When we moved here (2013) I had the same question, and could NOT get a straight answer. I ended up hiring a plumber who at the time stated and tried to do a water drill several feet down. In our case this did not work, ended up with something similar to a buried French drain with a cover over it and then a pipe though the cover for the water softener. What I was told at the time was you could NOT pipe or otherwise drain to the road. IMHO, you can call the county building department and ask for the correct answer for your location.
