Errr.... a sewer is precisely where your pee goes anyway, so you did good.


Not necessarily.

In many municipalities, any sewer that you could pee into is not the sewer you
should be peeing into.


Then it isn't a sewer. A sewer is for human effluent. If it's a for rainwater, it's not a sewer.


Where exactly do you go to get all of your incorrect information?


Sewer takes in a lot of different systems, but they all come under the
same overall term. Sanitary sewers usually carry the effluent from
toilets. Storm drains usually carry the water runoff from rain.
Combined sewers do both.

Towns do have ordinances about putting effluent in storm drains but I
don't imagine too many people have been arrested for peeing in a sewer.
