Excerpt from Drainage and Sanitation: A Practical Exposition of the Conditions Vital to Healthy Buildings, Their Surroundings and Construction, Their Ventilation, Heating, Lighting, Water and Waste Services

There are many conditions which a really healthy building should fulfil. It should, for example, be placed in hygienic surroundings, be well built, free from damp, well planned, ventilated, warmed, and lighted, have an efficient water supply and good sanitary fittings, be well drained, and be kept free from accumulations of refuse. An attempt has been made to deal with the subject in a systematic manner. Thus, in the case of water supply, the matter is started at the various sources of supply, traced to the point of distribution, and laid on to the house.

Then follow the sanitary fittings and waste pipes, through which the fouled water leaves the house and enters the drainage. From the drains, one goes on to the sewers, and from them, to the works for the dis posal Of sewage.
