agree  Mara Ballarini: like saying water and plumbing system, isn't it? the first supplies clean water, the second also for the waste water discharge. plumbing could actually include both.but the doubt remains:what has water to do with a stove?

aqueduct/sanitary sewers (sewer)


Explanation:
If the source word aqueduct, the trager, sorry, is aqueduct, a specific kynd of water supply.
Aqueduct: Conduit built to carry water from its source to a main distribution point.
aq·ue·duct (ăk'wĭ-dŭkt') n. A pipe or channel designed to transport water from a remote source, usually by gravity.
A bridgelike structure supporting a conduit or canal passing over a river or low ground. http://www.answers.com/topic/aqueduct
Sanitary Sewage: Liquid and water-carried human and domestic wastes from buildings, exclusive of ground, storm and surface water.
I understand sanitary refers to sanitary sewers, as explained:
Sanitary Sewers: In a separated system, pipes that carry only domestic or commercial sanitary sewage as opposed to rainwater runoff.
Sewer: A pipe or conduit that carries wastewater, either sanitary sewage or storm or surface water runoff, or both.
I think according to the context you can choose the most adequate expression.

Example sentence(s):
  • In a separated system, pipes that carry only domestic or commercial sanitary sewage as opposed to rainwater runoff.
  • Sanitary sewer system - Underground pipes that carry only domestic or industrial wastewater to a sewage treatment plant or receiving water.
