!!! A tought occurs!
We know there are both Dwarf and Troll influenses in Boldhome. The former helped build it, and the latter are known to live there. (Do dwarfs live inside the Quivini mountains?)
I suspect Boldhome does indeed have good and functioning open drains, and even some hidden ones in the posher areas of the town. But what can the Trolls offer?
Big Dung beetles! I don't mean anything you can ride on, but some fist sized dungbeetles could parhaps be trained (or enchanted more like) to help roll the manure and such from the streets into the drains, or bury it into gardenplots.
