Probably a combined sewer down there. Going to need a long shower after that ride...

If anyone wants to see what they were dealing with down there. You can go to www.dogis.org and turn on the sewer layer. Out west its fairly simple, Blue is Storm Sewer and Green is Sanitary Sewer. But if you zoom in to where he was found, its way more complex.
