non-municipal water and sewerage system
Explanation:
Another suggestion... I think non-municipal sums up what this is about. Most homeowners tend to think of their houses as individual or private, even if they have municipal services, which might cause confusion (depending on the overall context).

neutral  asptech: "Non-municipal" (icke kommunalt) is often used although a little "officialese". And "sewerage" is certainly the correct word - "sewage" is the s*** that you find inside the sewerage system.
