      At least where I live (US), sewage is included in the water bill, and the cost of sewage is 4x the cost of the water it came from. Partly because the public service commission neglected sewer maintenance for 100 years to the point that the EPA stepped in and told them to fix it. Now they’re doing a billion dollars of pipe replacement.

      We 100% do. Either by taxes to a county, a private sewage company, or by having someone come to empty your local sewage tank.

      Unless you’re putting your shit through a sandbed/rock chest.
