What's the best case scenario possible for Europe in the Medieval times, when it comes to water management? Historically, European cities were ridden with many diseases. While bathouses were present in the Early Middle Ages up to the appearance of the Black Plague, it would have helped tremendously if European houses had a running water, plumbing and waste management systems.
What interests me the most, at this, are the pipes. While the Romans did use lead pipes, it isn't the healthiest material you could use. What about plastics? Would the medieval Europeans be able to develop it at all? Not to mention sewers, which would also help a lot.
So, what would be the best way to achieve at least some of these?
