As people crowded into British cities in the nineteenth century, industrial and biological waste byproducts and then epidemic followed. The solution that prevailed was the idea that British towns must build public water supplies, replacing private companies. But the idea was not an obvious or inevitable one. As Broich demonstrates, the debate over how to supply London with water came to a head when the climate itself forced the endgame near the end of the nineteenth century.
