This book is a history of Dublin's water supply and drainage system from the year 1200 to the present day. It includes many old photographs and maps, which will be of interest to many.

The role of water in the Dublin city life is catalogued with particular attention to developments from the Victorian era to the present day. It also includes the necessary daily duties to maintain services and planning for the future.

The provision of this service is generally 'taken for granted' today and the book endeavours to illustrate the importance of water and wastewater services in maintaining a high quality of life for the citizens of Dublin.
