I guess the rule only applies if your property line is within 200 feet of water. Anyway, you should get it pumped and checked out, trust me, they fail at the worst possible time (think sewage fountain). My pump failed on Memorial day weekend many years ago with about 15 people in the house, fortunately it made noise before it got to the fountain stage. Scott Lamprey came by and pumped it out, saving the weekend. Having it fail in the middle of the winter with 4 feet of snow on the ground would really stink (pun intended).
