本文讨论两个相关的问题。在吉姆·克劳时代（1880-1925），城镇在多大程度上为非洲裔美国人提供了充足的供水和下水道服务？是什么促使地方政府允许非裔美国人获得水和污水处理服务？考虑到非裔美国人在教育和警察保护等领域从州和地方政府得到的待遇，黑人得到任何供水和下水道服务似乎很奇怪。考虑的两种解释集中在对流行病的恐惧，以及随着时间的推移和城市之间的居住隔离程度的变化。
This article addresses two related questions. To what extent did cities and towns provide African Americans adequate water and sewer services during the era of Jim Crow (1880–1925)? What motivated local governments to allow African Americans access to water and sewerage services? In light of the treatment African Americans received from state and local governments in areas such as education and police protection, it seems odd that blacks would have received any water and sewer service. Two explanations considered focus on fear of epidemic disease, and variation in the extent of residential segregation over time and across cities.
