The toilets in a Roman house were usually emptied directly into a cesspool or directly into a sewer. Most toilets were located either in the kitchen or under a staircase, but they were usually on the ground floor. There are some instances in ruins of two storied houses where there was a toilet on the second floor and this had an outside pipe connected to it which led to a sewer. Water would be used to rinse down whatever was accumulating. (The Romans did not only use the privvy for human waste, but for all household garbage as well)
The public toilets had a constant stream of running water which would move waste directly to a sewer.
