A CLEAN RAPTURE IS A HAPPY RAPTURE 
--- --- --- --- ---
Rapture - When the Toilets Cease To Function :
Imagine what the Players will face in Closed areas where the 'fumes' will generally fail to dissapate (no open air).
Worse than our 'Modern Cities' where the bums have been allowed to take over and results of their unsanitary antics are everywhere ( fragrant ordure, urine and garbage ).
One of the important accoutrements of the Player may be a Gas Mask - Not for poisonous gas, but for the smell ...
A 'decorative' mask overlay on this would be likely 
Flies and Spiders become frequently observed fauna.
Working 'Plumbing' - A Player Residence necessity ...

MEANS ( Planned Mechanisms in Rapture ): :
Infrastructure included in the City's design :
* Sewers and drains (KEEP THEM WORKING)
* Garbage Collection - chutes dump
* Trash Receptacles - peer pressure to use them
* Street Cleaning - Basic Necessity
* Health Hazards ( LATER- clean up those corpses )
* Clean Air - We all share it
* Pest Control (Vermin spread disease)
* Food Safety, inspections ? Press coverage very effective 'Peer Pressure'
* Mold and Mildew - controlling humidity (later to be restored)
* Pollution ( out in the ocean where it belongs )
* Recycling (waste not, want not)
-
* Appearance Prestige ( Motivation for improvements once survival is no longer under threat )
* Filthy Splicers (Hygiene is good)
* Propagandizing 'Sanitation' ( No 'Sweeping the issue under the rug' )

How are they PAID FOR The game writers attempted to push a dishonest narrative that Objectivism is Anarchy - They needed a DYSTOPIA for a game of mass-shooting, and SO made sure it happened in a rather clumsy/lazy way. ? Some things would have been embedded as city utilities ( part of the Social Contract the immigrating population agreed to ).
Private companies doing 'enhanced services. ( You can 'opt out' of City provided Services, but still have to meet the requirements of City Ordinances. )

Laundry :
* Coin Operated 'self-service' laundromat (first 1936/1947) - They accept 'Dole' Tokens ...
* Laundry Shop (fluff & fold service)
* Dry Cleaner - chemical solvent exhaust issue - toxic ( especially in a closed environment - much better than the early days when they used gasoline )
* Residential Facilities - either coin-operated (lower rated), or for residents use ( or by their 'servants'/staff in 'upscale' ones ). Washing machines would be a common consumer good that would warrant advanced development (Rapture Technology) though you might run into the 'Maytag' problem of everyone already having a Washing-machine/dryer that doesn't break for many many years.
* In-Unit Residence washing/drying machines ( in high demand in MMORPG if you can find one )
* Soap - manufacturing industry ( needs expanding for bigger city population )
* New 'Spidey Sense' of Splicers -- isn't Psi - You can just 'Smell them before you See them' ???
* Prison in Persephone had some nice assets for a large scale Laundry Operation
* Public Baths adjacent ( perhaps funded by some rich person for prestige ).

Columbia's "Slums" Were Far Too Clean - a Sanitized Version of What Such (real) Places Looked Like :
Feeble representation. Slums are the result of decades of neglect. Gamewriters oblivious.
Nobody who lived in these awful places would clean/pickup anything ( for long - They would soon quit when it was apparent they would get no help (or support) and it accumulated faster than their efforts ). Garbage would accumulate and rot, the smell would be unforgettable. City ordinances (if any) would be ignored - if any unpaid work was involved. IF you want to simulate and condemn historic squalor, then you might want to actually show some reality. 
(( Note - Under typical collectivist management - or even a proper Police State, the place would be cleaned up at gunpoint, That is except for Sofia Lamb's, who couldn't even have a new Coat of Paint put on her filthy Headquarters. ))
