agree  Alexandra Goldburt: Replace "liquid" with water - and I agree with you. And yes, we should call thing by their proper names, and we are talking about something highly unpleasant here!

  -> Thanks, Alexandra. I put "liquid" for (perhaps unwarranted) dramatic effect. Besiides, I'm sure that water is far from being 100% pure water! But that's,of course, my own inference.
neutral  Gabrielle Leyden: it's definitely waste water; context would help to detemrine what kind, from which source, and how exactly it's discharged!
