The last second

Everything past the wall is plumbing nobody shows you. This station follows the pipe to the plant at the other end.

Scope of work

You flush, the bowl clears, and the waste keeps travelling without you.

An isometric house on a cut ground block. A pipe leaves the toilet, crosses the soil, and turns into a large question mark with a green dot. PLATE 01A
The pipe leaves the house at one point. Everything after that is shared property. AI-generated illustration

The drain stops at the wall of the house. From there a pipe carries the waste under the street, and that pipe joins a larger one. Gravity does the work, and the pipe slopes the whole way toward the plant.

Hours later the load reaches a treatment plant that splits water from solids. The plant cleans the water and returns it to a river. Solids settle out as sludge, and the sludge still has to be taken somewhere.

Carry forward

Your flush joins a pipe that serves one street. Station 02 counts the people still outside the system.

An isometric city block with streets, cars, and a café. Green sewer pipes run under the road, branch like roots, and end at a small treatment plant. PLATE 01B
One blocked branch still looks normal from above. The plant sees the loss hours later. AI-generated illustration

The map treats the plant as the last stop. A river comes after it. AI-generated illustration
