Thats true for a lot of storm drains. Typically less so for household waste drains in developed countries.
And this is where I'm reminded that the UK, thanks to not being bound by EU regulations after brexit, started dumping raw, untreated sewage into the ocean.. which immediately washed up on tons of beaches and forced them all to close.
First time I’ve heard of this. Horrible, horrible decision. What the fuck.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Toilets, showers, etc. I didn’t understand why people liked swimming in the ocean.
