In the late 1800s, most residential urban areas are not yet fully segregated by race. Savannah, Georgia, however, is an exception. As with other cities with higher levels of segregation, Savannah is slow to bring water pipelines into majority Black neighborhoods, with access to water lagging sufficiently behind white neighborhoods. "In 1900, 88 percent of white households had access to the sewer system, compared to only 58 percent of Black households. However, by 1905, 100 percent of all households were connected" (Montag, 2019).
