Crossword Genius

Sap in sewer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drain

I believe this is a double definition.

'sap' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'sewer' is the second definition.
(drain can mean a sewer)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drain that I've seen before include "Exhaust - pipe" , "Exhaust (of liquid)" , "Discharge pipe" , "Filter" , "Waste pipe" .)
