Edinburgh once had a moat, which is now called "Princes Street Gardens". The moat was used as a dumping ground for sewerage in the city, not limited to human sewerage and blood and guts from the butchers. This was also used as the city's water supply (yes, really). There were wells around the city, though they were equally in danger of developing cholera from the drinking wells.
