Original Note:
This is a Orangeburg sewer line. It was made of rolled tar paper. It was created during WWII because of a metal shortage due to the war effort. That black water is sewage that has been sitting due to a blockage, not oil. https://www.expresssewer.com/blog/exp_what-is-orangeburg-pipe-everything-you-need-to-know?hs_amp=true https://structuretech.com/orangeburg-pipe/
