On Mon, 29 Dec 2003 10:56:08 +0000, a particular chimpanzee named
Andrew randomly hit the keyboard and produced:

Building over drains which run the entire length of the street about 3-4
feet from the back door, so re re-routing the drains is not an option.

If the houses were built before 1937, then the drain is deemed to be a
'public' sewer.

Where does such a drain start to be a 'public' sewer -
is it the entire length, or downstream of the first junction?
