The vast majority of American communities dispose of their sewage now, as was the case 10 years ago, by dilution or dispersion in relatively large volumes of water. The urban population of the United States was estimated by the Census Bureau in 1900 at 28411 698, or 37.3% of the total population. For this purpose the aggregate population of cities and towns of more than 4000 population was taken, there being 1049 of these. This limit in population has been used by quite a number of engineers as giving a fairly reasonable index to the population connected to sewers, on the basis that the population using sewers in towns smaller than this, and in isolated establishments, offsets in a general way the proportion of population unconnected with the sewerage systems of the larger towns and cities.
