Herv, I've seen drain lines for water softeners in TV going out through the block foundation or garage sidewall to the driveway or into the landscaping. Maybe check with your water softener installer (if you're hiring the job out) to see what their suggestions would be. Perhaps you can finagle a way to get an adequate drain pipe of some sort laid under the sod and any sidewalk that will lead out towards the street.

There's really no perfect solution unless you can get TV to install a floor drain in your garage close to where the softener will be located. Unfortunately, it's probably too late for that if the foundation work and slab are already completed.
