Beneath Our Feet: With a clean water supply system in place by the mid-19th century, Boston then focused on disposal of waste water.

This 1877 map illustrates proposed subterranean sewer lines, along with reservoirs and pumping stations at the coast. From these sites, waste water would flow into Boston Harbor, as displayed here. Drinking water continued to be affected after new lines were constructed, which prompted the state to establish the cooperative Metropolitan Sewerage District, the first of its kind in the United States... , Massachusett
