In 1996, Sigrid Arnott wrote a short history of sanitation in St. Paul and
Minneapolis, Minnesota with an eye towards archaeological potential. It is

Here are a couple about sewers, again historical not archaeological:
Elkind, Sarah. Bay Cities and Water Politics: The Battle for Resources in
Boston and Oakland, (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1998).
But Joel Tarr, The Search for the Ultimate Sink is a good one, too.

Blair,
Not archaeological, but a great discussion of sewerage over time:
Melosi, Martin V.
2000 The Sanitary City: Urban Infrastructure in America from Colonial
Times to the Present. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore.
And just kind of a neat discussion is found in:
Keating, Ann Durkin
1994 Invisible Networks: Exploring the History of Local Utilities and
Public Works. Malabar, FL: Krieger Publishing Co.
