A thorough look at Canton’s early sewer plan and its impact on public health.

This volume compiles the Board of Sewer Commissioners’ descriptive report on the sewer system and the key events shaping its construction from 1880 to 1893. It covers the move toward a main sewer, lateral and storm sewers, and sewage disposal works, framed by a push for sanitary reform in the city.

The text presents the arguments for a separate storm-water system, informed by Col. George E. Waring, Jr.’s recommendation, and shows how city leaders assessed maps, slopes, and costs to guide the project. It also includes discussion of local ordinances, practical plumbing guidance, and notes on enforcement as the city prepared to connect more buildings to the sewer network.
