Broken pipe or rainwater overflow?

I had stinking mudd flow from a pipe onto the parkin by my house. I had always umed that the pipe carried the waistwater from the toilets outward, so I was obviously pleased to see the thick, stinky mudd come onto the parkin. However, when I cleaned the spot out I saw that one side of the pipe was opening into the sand. The other end was connected with a pipe. There was a ball of thick muck inside the pipe that I was able to clean out. I wonder now if this was actually a rainwater overflow pipe or something of the sort. The pipe had the form of an upside down U with one end ending in the sand as I said. Is the mudd just leaves that have decomposed in the pipes or should this pipe really be connected to something that rotted away over the years? Any thoughts?
