A vacuum-type sewage collecting apparatus collect sewage discharged from a plurality of houses or facilities in an accumulating tank through a vacuum sewage pipe network, the inner pressure of which is negative. The vacuum sewage pipe network includes a plurality of upper stream pipes and lower stream pipes fastened to each other in a branch-like fashion. Each lower stream pipe has a sawtooth-like shape formed by alternately disposed downwardly-sloping portions extending gently downwards toward said accumulating tank, and lift portions fastened to the lowermost portion of a respective downwardly-sloping portion and extending upwardly with a steep slope. The upper stream pipe is connected to the lower stream pipe in a range in which a horizontal plane, which extends through an upper end portion of the lower stream pipe at the position in which the downwardly-sloping portion adjoins the lift portion, is higher than the center of the lower stream pipe. The upper stream pipe opens to the lower stream pipe at a position diagonally above the center of the lower stream pipe as viewed in a plane perpendicular to the pipe central axis. At least a portion of the opening is higher than the horizontal plane, and the upper stream pipe extends from the lower stream pipe diagonally upwards.

An underground vacuum pipe network of a vacuum-type sewage collecting apparatus, said network comprising: a plurality of lower stream pipes each including alternately disposed downwardly-sloping portions extending gently downwards and lift portions extending with a steep upward slope from lowermost parts of said downwardly-sloping portions, respectively, wherein the lower stream pipes extend along a sawtooth-like path, and a plurality of upper stream pipes branching from said lower stream pipes, each of the upper stream pipes extending from a respective one of said lower stream pipes within a range over which a horizontal plane, which extends through an upper portion of the respective one of said lower stream pipe at a location at which one of the downwardly-sloping portions thereof adjoins one of the lift portions, is higher than a central longitudinal axis of the respectively one of said lower stream pipes, each of the upper stream pipes being open to the respectively one of said lower stream pipes at a location diagonally above the central longitudinal axis of the respective one of said lower stream pipes as viewed in a plane perpendicular to said axis, at least a portion of an opening at which each of the upper stream pipes is open to the respective one of said lower stream pipes being located above said horizontal plane, and each of the upper stream pipes being inclined upwardly from the respective one of said lower stream pipes.
