A large well in a room to the east of the bath is accessible from a street alongside, as well as from the inside of the building. The water from this well may have been used to fill the bath, but it could have been obtained more easily by way of the culvert, whose height would thus be explained. By closing the outfall with a sluice, the culvert could have been refilled with clean water, which, by its own pressure, would have refilled the bath.
