Not sure where you live and work, but out here in California, we’ve never met a regulation that we didn’t like. It is now law in just about every county in this state that in new construction, you must make provisions for drain and test discharge from fixed fire protection systems to be routed so that they do not enter the storm drain system in any manner. That means no discharge to daylight if it hits hardscape and could run to storm drains. You can discharge to landscape if it’s detained (either by engineered or natural means) or into the sanitary sewer system. So it’s not only possible, it’s pretty much mandatory where we work these days.
We have a couple of details for making the connection to self-priming hub drains or floor sinks and they go into every document set. City of San Diego even has a special day-use permit you can pull to test a fire pump or standpipe system by opening a manhole in a public street and discharging directly into the sewer main.
