If you do not have mains sewage it will go into a local septic tank on the property or near by. Where it will be treated an then discharged into a soak away. If you have mains sewage then it goes into the sewer pipes and can either flow out into a river or the sea, or more likely it will go to a sewage treatment works where it will be treated and cleaned. From there it can either be discharged into a river or sea or it might be treated and recycled.
