Sewer Pipe in the Sukkah

Question

I have a sewer pipe running through the sukkah, is there an issue with this?

Answer

Since there is no bad odor and the sewage does not stand still but flows continuously, it is permissible to recite blessings in front of it. It is also permissible to sit, eat, and sleep under the pipe if it is less than 24 cm wide.
