[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9020475, member: 8461"] "Fresh, clean water (for drinking and cooking) in Waterdeep comes from deep wells under Castle Waterdeep and under Farwatch Tower, and from shallow wells around the city. These wells are attended at all times by members of the Watch. To deliberately poison or attempt to block access to or fill in one of these wells is an offense punishable by immediate death (i.e. as soon as the offender is within blade's reach). "Spillwater," the not-quite-so-clean water used for bathing and washing of animals, buildings, and equipment, and for the watering of plants, comes from cisterns on the roofs and the cellars of most buildings in Waterdeep; cellar cisterns are fed by sloping catchbasins on roofs, and have gratings to filter out solid debris that finds its way onto the roof out of the collected water as it flows down wall pipes into the cellar; smaller roof-cisterns are merely open-topped basins, and are cleaned often by users below to avoid contact with dead pigeons and the like. Used spillwater is referred to as "nightwater," and is used to sluice chamber pots into the sewers." -page 11 of the "Campaign Guide to the City" booklet from the AD&D 2nd Edition [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16790/City-of-Splendors?affiliate_id=820'][I]City of Splendors[/I][/URL] (affiliate link) boxed set.
