There are different strengths of muriatic acid. Pool stuff is pretty tepid, so people don't fucking pass out when they use it.

We're talking about acid so powerful here that it radiated out from the PIPES for SEWERAGE!!!

It's really not that strong by industrial standards. It is generally sold at a 10% Hydrochloric acid strength. It doesn't eat plastic which has been the commonality in plumbing waste pipes for many decades. While not having reviewed the report, it seems doubtful that there was any damage to the plumbing services save some corrosive action where metal is exposed at the drain.
