As an Engineer, I would argue that "sewerage system" i.e. a system of sewerage components is technically more correct, though "sewage system" i.e. a system for handling sewage would be acceptable in a casual conversation.

I'm Commodus. My reign ended the Pax Romana, the most peaceful period of the Roman Empire, but saw the completion of the Cloaca Maxima. Sewage systems and personalist deity cults are sexy.

Watching YouTube videos of Australian plumbers cleaning backed up sewage lines is my guilty cathartic pleasure since COVID. Sewage systems are indeed sexy.

Retired software engineer living near an old city that’s spending half a billion on a storm water separation project. I don’t know what started this thread, but sewage systems are sexy. And expensive.

I’m a right wing libertarian moron, sewage systems are a socialist plot. They should be for-profit and people should be charged per flush so that wealthy investors can profit from them shitting more-so than they do now through toilet paper sales.

I think the people who have the biggest impact our daily lives aren’t lawyers, doctors, etc…but the people who make sure we aren’t living in our own filth (sewer system and sanitation workers). Everything would go to 💩 within days without them and we take it all for granted.

I'm someone who survived childhood without succumbing to a serious waterborne disease. Sewage systems are sexy 😎 Joseph Bazelgette should have been a pin-up for his work with sewers in London. The privatisation of the English water system is 👎👎👎, dumping💩in rivers. And FFS folks,*don't* flush wipes!

To quote Stephen Fry in the Hippopotamus "If all the plumbers in London alone go on strike... Hardship, discomfort, nuisance, impact and news-worthiness quotients? High, poets?, nothing" Sewage Systems are most excellent

I'm a musician who writes funny songs. Sewage system songs start sexy, stay sexy. I'm a doer, I'm an ew-er, I like to skewer, and nothing truer than a sewer wooer.

I'm a retired educator, and, back in the day, I was just happy when the boys' bathroom toilets weren't clogged with the old paper towel prank to it all overflow. Not sexy, but damn, sure made my day a lot better.

Toilets are nothing though without sewage systems and infrastructure- just ask London about their infamous cholera outbreak. They had indoor plumbing that connected to just... the outside 🫠

love using them to test our community health and would love to normalize point of use grey water systems for communities along with shoring up water systems' resiliencies for our new uber wet uber dry climate patterns. many of our wells are drying up here in vt after an extremely wet spring!

"In 1961, Progressive editor William Evjue wrote of the Wisconsin Socialist legislators he had known by saying: 'They never were approached by the lobbyists, because the lobbyists knew it was not possible to influence these men. They were incorruptible.'" Incorruptible - now that's sexy!
