Mine ends up in my back yard.

Speed would depend on a lot of things, but one would be the type of consistency, and other would be how much flow is going through at the time. Im sure near peak flow hours it would be a lot faster than at the low flow hours.

In the uk a large amount of rain water ends up in the sewage system, they are often combined due to the age of our infrastructure. The main thing that affects flow to a large extent is actually the weather. The flows from use of water are quite low in comparison. There comes a point in the pope however where the flow is fairly free and after that all you are doing is bringing the pipe closer to it's pipe full capacity rather than the water flowing any quicker. With only gravity driving it, it is constrained mostly by the pipe slope and roughness.

I feel really bad that i am an expert in poo pipes, always hoped to become a highway engineer, but alas the job market in the UK has not allowed me that
