Yes.. I did read that..

And to add to that, we need to look at what the Israelis brought to the West Bank, with regard to utilities and sanitation, both of which were practically non-existent prior to 1967.

C. Sewerage

Sewerage utilities before 1967 were limited to the main cities of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Even for those cities served by sewer mains, services in all cases were only for some parts. The rest of the population in urban areas, as well as the population of rural areas, built their own septic tanks for sewerage disposal. There were no sewerage treatment facilities in any of the cities of the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Collected sewerage was dumped into neighbouring wadis without any treatment.
