My sump pump goes off all the time. It goes off every 2 minutes and stays on for 20 seconds. My problem is that it even goes off in the middle of summer when it hasnt rained for two weeks or so. I know that the sump pump is working because i see the water coming out of line about 15 ft from house. Had the city come over to see maybe it was there water. They tested it and said it wasnt. Dont know what my options are and if there is something to do. So one told me that it could be a spring dont know if that is something i can fix.

Do you live in a condo or row house development with zero lot lines

If you live in a single family home where the homes have average side set backs of 20'-30' you might have a natural spring under your house and the best thing todo is use the water for lawn and garden watering, don't fight it just use it wisely and always keep your sump in good working order to avoid flooding of your basement.
