In ancient Rome you need to know where you can your water, where you go for the bathroom, or where the baths are. There are a total of nine aqueducts that gave thirty eight million gallons of water. Then there were eleven aqueducts in 109 C.E. The pipelines brought the water to the fountains, baths, and the bathrooms. This supplied water for the whole city, so if one were to break, you would be in trouble. You don’t want to waste any water. Hopefully, you are wealthy. If you are wealthy, then you have your very own plumbing. If you were poor, then you would have to share the plumbing. Plus, the toilets actually flush! Most of the water though, was used by the public. For baths, there was public baths. You would go there to clean yourself, talk to friends, or just hang out. The places to go are by city corners. Every city corner had water, so you can cook, clean, and drink with this water. This is the way the city was provided with water.
