Cross-sections of Boston sewers: all sizes from building
laterals to interceptor sewers. Note different slopes/cross-sections and
different construction materials. One such sewer design consisted of a
wood invert with brick vertical side walls and a flat crown made of slabs
of slate (locally available stone that was recognized to be more corrosion
resistant).
