indoor plumbing
Household water system
Indoor plumbing is a system of pipes, fixtures, and drains that brings water into a building and carries waste out—toilets, sinks, showers, and the infrastructure connecting them.
The phrase usually appears in contexts emphasizing its absence or arrival: The cabin had no indoor plumbing.
Having indoor plumbing marks a basic threshold of modern convenience.
