No, have drain right off front door and two out front. With only two at rear of house in my CYV. Drain out front not slopped for run of to go to street till it pools is area between houses.

I was referring to the OP's situation. It appears as though the OP has rerouted the downspout water from the back yard to the front yard, which I don't think is a good idea. I would remove the popup and underground pipe and let the water drain into the back yard, like the builder intended.

I don’t think so, I think it’s one right off front door or on front side of house? IMO no reason reroute to front when usually big drain in back yard to street for water off houses. But, I am basing my guess on how my CYV is? Newer models maybe totally different?
