sewered
Given drainage infrastructure
Sewered describes something equipped with sewers or connected to a sewer system: The city's sewered neighborhoods have lower rates of waterborne disease.
In informal usage, particularly in gaming and internet slang, sewered means thoroughly defeated, ruined, or screwed over: We got absolutely sewered in that match.
The slang sense evokes being sent down the drain.
