Why do you think separate pipes are used for sewage and storm water?

Storm drains go directly to a creek or river with no processing. Sewage has to be treated before going there.1- Many localities have a combination system for storm and soil waste2- The reason there is a requirement for separate storm and sanitary is not to over load the waste treatment plants as required by federal mandates with the clean water safety act3- Dumping storm water is not always allowed to be dumped into a creek /river /lake as storm water drainage on roadways contains petroleum products from the asphalt and some localities use salt during the winter thus salt entering fresh water will kill some of the wild life and compromise the water that may be used for drinking and irrigation

What are different types of drains?

Different types of drains include, cast iron, pvc, galvanized, copper and steel. Furthermore, drains include, down pipes for storm water and sewer, sewer drainage pipes under the ground, gulleys (an opening in the ground where sewer collects, example, where the waste water from a bath or kitchen empties into), A drain is pretty much anything that transports waste water (sewerage) and storm water from one place and then eventually ending up either in a river (only storm water) or municipal waste water pipes which is carried then to the waste water treatment plant. Drains convey Acid waste , storm, sanitary, soil, FOG, slurry.

Where does your excrement go?

In to the sewer system where it is breaking down in water. The water is then filtered and waste matter treated and disposed ofAfter you flush, human waste is carried to a treatment facility by pipe systems that are generally classified according to the type of waste flowing through them. If the system carries both domestic and storm-water sewage, it is called a combined system, but sanitary sewage can be separated from storm sewage by a separate pipe network. This arrangement is more efficient because it excludes the voluminous storm sewage from the treatment plant.
