sewer network
Subterranean waste channels
A sewer network is the interconnected system of underground pipes, tunnels, and channels that carries wastewater and stormwater away from buildings and streets.
The term emphasizes the infrastructure as a whole rather than individual pipes: The city's aging sewer network needs billions in repairs.
Also called a sewer system or sewerage system.
