    Maybe you’re pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.

      Drainage system = soo-er
      Person who sews = soh-er
      Exploring a place, with or without a guide = tohr

      That’s typically how I hear those pronounced. Idk, I get the sense that some think I’m trying to correct the OP when I’m just trying to figure out how the hell something is pronounced.
