The author deals with the beginnings of the waterworks and modern sewage system in Ljubljana in the period from 1880 to 1910, which formed the foundations for improved sanitary and hygienic conditions in the town. Both novelties enabled every house to be supplied with water and to have a "water closet" and a bathroom, (the latter of which, however, was still a matter of prestige). As a result of the introduction of the new waterworks and sewage system, the sanitary irregularities in the city slowly disappeared and a new quality of life began to establish itself.
