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.
