After the Flush


1) Water that goes down the drains in our houses is called...

B. Sewage or wastewater
Water that goes down our sinks, showers, toilets, or is used in the washing machine and dishwasher is called wastewater. Wastewater is simply water that we have used. Even if water is totally clean (like if you just turn the sink on and let it run), once it goes down the drain it becomes wastewater.
