The Wiki article later mentioned that the White House water supply was
likely tainted by sewage.

In earlier days before public water works,  hand-dug cisterns were
used to store water, and many/all were filled by rainwater via house's
gutters.

Out-houses were placed somewhere near a home/etc. I have no idea if a
sealing compound was used on cisterns and out-house's pits back then.

I have no idea how White House's water/sewer systems were setup.
