First, a fact that will blow your mind: gravity does most of the heavy lifting. Seriously. Your house is connected to a massive network of pipes that slope downward, just a little bit. Everything from your sink, shower, and toilet rushes downhill, joining forces with your neighbors’ waste.
It all collects in giant underground tunnels called interceptors. These aren’t glamorous. They’re dark, wet, and smell exactly how you’d imagine. But they’re the highway system for all that unwanted water. Eventually, it all arrives at a place with a very official-sounding name: the wastewater treatment plant.
