    I’m sure Vincent Ferrar is worth every votive candle he gets, but in this case I’d suggest going with St. Adelelmus. In the early 12th century, Adelelmus-- in addition to maintaining a heavy schedule of general saintliness-- designed and oversaw the building of the first city sewage system in Burgos, Spain. He must of done a good job, since as part of his eternal reward he’s the patron saint of Burgos (where he’s known somewhat less formally as San Lesmes).
