Septic Systems have been installed since the late 1800's replacing the old outside facility known as the outhouse. A septic system is a mini onsite sewage treatment system used when municipal sewers are not available. Depending on the age of your home, septic Systems on Long Island usually consist of a primary receiver (septic tank) and a drainage area (cesspool or drainage field). Homes constructed after 1973, will have a septic tank as the primary receiver while homes built prior to 1973 will have a cesspool as the primary receiver. (All homeowners residing in homes built prior to 1973 be sure to read the article on block construction cesspools on the home page) If properly installed and maintained on a regular basis, your septic system will provide many years of trouble free service.

What was sanitation like during Shakespeare's time?
It was awful! The lack of sanitation played perhaps the largest role in the spreading and contracting of disease. Cities, towns, and villages were generally cesspools - open sewers in the streets (which served also as communal garbage cans) harbored viruses, disease and germs. It was also a breeding ground for varmin such as rats, lice, and fleas, that bred in the dregs of these sordid areas. They contracted illnesses such as the Black Death and spread it to humans by bites.
When was plumbing inveted?
Plumbing originated during the ancient civilizations such as the Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, and Chinese civilizations as they developed public baths and needed to provide potable water, and drainage of wastes. Improvement in plumbing systems was very slow, with virtually no progress made from the time of the Roman system of aqueducts and lead pipes until the 19th century. Eventually the development of separate, underground water and sewage systems eliminated open sewage ditches and cesspools. Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing#History

Why do dogs lick their urine?
The most common reason is that, even when they're getting everything they should get nutrition-wise (good water, plenty of salt and mineral, good feed with the perfect amount of fibre), they do it because they can and for some unknown reason, they like to. It's an aesthetically-displeasing behaviour to us more so than a herd health problem even though occasionally it can be an indicator of a mineral-, protein/energy- or a fibre-deficiency that needs to be addressed. But, most commonly it's a "problem" (again, to us, not them) that is difficult to fix and for many producers, not worth the time or effort to fix simply because it has shown no adverse affects on their performance or health other than a potential to spread diseases like leptospirosis, BVD, TB, and salmonella, particularly with new untested animals that have entered a herd that is not immune nor vaccinated for the diseases.Directly, and scientifically, though, the causes or reasons for cattle drinking urine or even from cesspools that are brown with urine and feces are largely unknown except for the other reasons listed above.
What are problems due to industrialization?
In the 1800s the industrialization created many problems, because the rapid growth of cities brought a lot of people and with that more problem were being crated .for example Pollution created smoke, fouling of rivers, use of dangerous chemicals. Over-crowding in the industrial towns, slums and epidemics of typhoid, cholera etc. Loss of skilled manual work so that men often became displaced by women and children. Sometimes Crime was a problem too because the new industrial towns were poorly supervised. In the country the squire (often also the magistrate), and the parson knew everyone and kept social order, in the towns there was often a 'wild west' atmosphere in the early 1800s, especially in the mining towns. Food adulteration a big problem too, with so many people needing fed and a lack of a proper system of food distribution there was a lot of adulteration of food, especially bread and milk. It was only when the railways became a national network that fresh food became available to everyone. A lack of water meant that baths were rare. Less than one in three homes in Manchester had any kind of toilet. Some neighborhoods had no sewers or drains. As a result, human waste sat in public cesspools or the streets. The combination of overcrowding and filth led to frequent outbreaks of disease. In 1847, for example, some 14,000 people in London died of cholera.
