The Public Health Act of 1848 was the result of advocacy by Edwin Chadwick, in response to the deplorable living conditions of poor urban laborers. Prior to the Act there were no uniform regulations regarding provisions for proper sanitation and clean water in cities where poor workers resided. As a result of the Act's passage, local governmental agencies were tasked with the responsibility for providing proper sanitation in urban communities in England and Wales.
