Ummm...around here, we refer to it as sanitary sewer and storm drain. The roof gutters would be tied into the storm drain, the sanitary is all the stuff from inside the house. One way to get in REAL TROUBLE here, is to put oil or gas in the STORM drain, which goes into the rivers without any treatment. Not that you are really supposed to put any of that in the sanitary either, but at least that is going to a treatment plant. Not sure what you meant, maybe that it would be hard to catch you in the storm drain, while they might track you back from the treatment plant if they find a lot of stuff there (highly unlikely you could generate enough at your home to raise any flags).
Sorry to be picky, but we once had a visit at work from the Sewer Authority, and we were afraid to wash our oily hands after that...and yes, they put an automated monitor in the sewer line, and no, they were after someone else.
