Much of what makes sewage sewage is particles suspended in water. As sewage passes through soils, plants, and other features particles will settle or be trapped by terrain features. Initially it's pretty easy to tell that a liquid is sewage, but as it gets filtered and settled out you might need laboratory tests to tell that this liquid initially came from sewage. Feel free to contact me with further questions if you want more details. Hi Sherri,

What does sewage look like as it migrate through soils? Is it always black or dark or can it be clear also? Thanks, Sherri I am curious. What does sewage look like as it migrate through soils?
