They make condensate pumps that collect the water in a reservoir and 
then periodically pump it out.  You could pump it into your waste water 
pipe or into a storm drain.

Another option is create a dry well - a buried 55 gallon drum filled 
with rocks and punctured to let water out.  This distributes the water 
better, but may not solve your problem if you've got too much water.
