There are more documentaries about that amazing system. The earlier sewers dated from medieval times where natural streams were diverted. As London grew the old system didn't have enough capacity, apart from the obvious health hazards. Some inventions like decompression were also used in coal mines. Machines pushed fresh air in mine shafts so people could dig deeper. And of course there were horrific accidents as well.

I did a job for the US coast guard that required me to be entirely inside their septic offload tank. The ships would come in and offload their sewage via pump and the previous concrete contractor had made a mess of the 5000psi concrete. I had to dig a tunnel the size of a man underneath the existing 18” slab and crawl into next to the leaky pipe to replace and secure it. I also had to demolish the previous slab and replace it. I charged $106/hour because I can’t even imagine doing this normally.
That's much less then most mediocre Consultants take, sounds like you've done a job that required a very specific skillset (and the will of doing it), I think you could have charged twice the amount.

Victorians: *build open, disease-free drinking water fountains for the public* Also Victorians: *attach to them a chain with a single, never cleaned cup for everyone to use and pass their germs on everybody else*
It's still in use in several countries. Back in the days in Paris people started to get ill from a fountain like that. It was next to a mass grave. Fluids from corpses leaked in the ground water... The Palace of Versailles was built without sewers. Only the king and his wive had something that looked like a bathroom. Other people living at the court and guests at parties had to figure out where to relief themselves. Many did in the hallways and gardens. There were servants cleaning up the mess before the king would pass by. It smelled so horrible that the king had citrus trees planted. The funny thing is that the palace gardens had a sophisticated water system for the many fountains, a sewer would have been easy. In Dutch cities like Amsterdam canals were used. The stench in the summer was so bad that people with money would flee to the countryside. In the 1800's things went really south with chemical factories dumping waste, many people died. It was then where the city council decided to build a sewer system.
The silver used to plate the cup actually naturally kills germs. The explanation is something about how the natural ionization inherent to silver means that it punctures through bacteria and viruses by stealing electrons. Silver is actually what most medical scalpels today are still made from or coated in.
Pretty shitty.. Anal was not the freshest either. These nasties gave illness to the world and killed off indigenous tribes with their funky ways. Innovative in each way except ones where animals excel. Advanced? Or ignorant?
@@zanaib4923 although life in Europe hundreds of years ago was disgusting.... so was the rest of the world. Europeans didn’t spread disease to indigenous populations because they were so dirty and the indigenous were so clean.... it was because the had an stronger immunity to certain diseases and the indigenous populations didn’t. When populations separate for a long time they face different diseases and have different immunities. In the case of European contact with North and South American tribes, Europeans had immunity to many diseases that they contracted through the advanced and increased animal husbandry. Most indigenous tribes didn’t partake in animal husbandry and those that did had a different set of animals that would carry different diseases. The Old world had these diseases for centuries if not millennia and the New world had no protection when they inevitably collided. So I think that comment is pretty ignorant. The issue isn’t that simple and has a lot more nuance...
@@jeffreycater5447 Sorry but, no. There are many accounts of indigenous peoples from various places in the world who, upon coming into contact with Europeans, remarked on how foul smelling the euros were, even after being off-ship long enough to have washed. Fact is, compared to the vast majority of other peoples, Europeans seldom bothered to wash themselves and were really unhygienic, infested often with various mites and insects as well. It's true they had immunity to more diseases, especially compared to the indigenous people of the Americas and the Pacific, and that's because almost all of the animals that you can 'tame' and use for labour and food and whatnot are "old world" animals, very few of them existed elsewhere. This gave Europeans (and Asians, as well as Africans to a lesser extent) a leg-up on immunity to the various zoonotic diseases that came with living in very close quarters with animals, but it also contributed the foul-smelling-ness that Europeans took for granted as acceptable, which other people didn't. So yes, Europeans did smell bad and bathe way less compared to most indigenous peoples from places where there was no contact for centuries or millennia between the "old worlders" and "new worlders" (as well as Pacific Islanders, Oceanians, etc.).

I replied, "I was seduced by the glamour!" Perhaps the fumes affected my reply. Remember, 'Old Plumbers never die. They just smell that way.'
The cups were silver plated which actually helps prevent disease. Silver has antiseptic properties. Also it's still better than drinking filthy pond water and the better off likely would have used their own containers for the water
