sewage pipe

Underground drainage tube

A sewage pipe is a pipe that carries sewage—wastewater and human waste—away from buildings to treatment facilities or disposal sites.

The term is straightforward and technical, referring to the infrastructure beneath streets and buildings that most people never think about until something goes wrong: The sewage pipe burst and flooded the basement.
