OK, the only reason I'm posting this is that I like the term "main dump
station". Is that sewer-engineers' technical jargon?

Addendum:

For some reason that reminds me of one of those mythical funny foreign hotel
signs: "All the water has been personally passed by the management."

Hi Jerry! I found your ring! It's been steeping in
raw sewage for 25 years! PUT IT ON, HAW HAW.

Oh, and I hid your pocket watch up my
ass for the entire duration of the Vietnam war.
