Catalan term or phrase: abocador d'un camió cisterna d'aigua
No context other than that my text is a permit for filming which specifies that this vehicle is permitted to enter a public park for filming purposes.

Explanation:
Andy should have posted his answer as an answer - if he did, then it ended up as a note - curiously.

This might refer to the "tap" or valve that allows water to be emptied from the vehicle. Is there any further context? It might also be requesting a place where the vehicle can flush out its contents.

Thanks both:-) In fact later in the text they refer to just a single vehicle being allowed IN the park (the genset one), so it must be a hose that they chuck over the fence:-)

agree  Andy Watkinson: Hi. Seems as if it may, as Ailish says, be the hose or system used to empty the tanker....
