Yes I did. I wasn't brought up to be clean and hygienic, I was muddy and liked to explore everything (normally ended up coming home dirty). The sewers I explored where at least 4ft in diameter and rather clean.

I've also played in storm water drains, but only on a very hot sunny day where there was hardly any water in them.

I think I thought you where Shia, sorry

But my point still stands, you would never have played in a sewer pipe in Australia, they would all have been storm water drains, pipes and all. For one thing, think about where that water was going.
