How does this work? Is there a drain tobthe sewer? Or is it just rocks? Or what?

How tf would we know

The earth is hollow, the pipe goes to the Inside.

If the pipe doesn't come out of the ground anywhere then yea it's likely plumbed to the sewer

Doing this is illegal in most places since it's adds a lot of unnecessary water to the sewer that cities then have to pay to treat



t. sewer worker

have you heard of a storm sewer? they are extremely common in western cities

It lets the electricity go to ground

>Is there a drain tobthe sewer?

It's possible, but some places don't allow connecting gutters to the municipal sewer.



The most likely case is either the pipe is perforated and leeches the water into the ground like >>2600822

or there's an outlet for it somewhere else in the yard, probably in a lower area.



Either way, just go out and look at it next time it rains, if the water isn't coming out where the downspout goes into the pipe then it's draining fine and there's nothing to worry about.

>having clean water to help sewer flow bad

More clean water is still more water to treat and pump.

>have you heard of a storm sewer? they are extremely common in western cities

Around me, most places don't allow direct connection of downspouts to storm sewers, either. This is usually because the storm sewers are undersized, but often also because they want the water to have a chance to flow overland and be partially absorbed into the earth under the pretense of "recharging the water table".

If it's in a combined sewer area, they usually don't even allow sump pump discharge into it.
