Sadly some of the local jurisdictions require you to do this. Alexandria forced me to pipe the foundation drain system on the addition to an interior sump pump and would not let me connect it to the original foundation drain system (which drains to the storm sewer by gravity). All attempts to make them see the potential for basement flooding with the sump requirement fell on deaf ears.
