Treatment plant gunk (6)

I believe the answer is:

sewage

(Other definitions for sewage that I've seen before include "Refuse carried off through drainage system" , "Waste matter carried away in drains" , "Refuse for drains" , "Waste flowing in pipes" , "Liquid waste" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
