Before the invention of plumbing, people had to figure out their own methods to get rid of their waste. Raw sewage was often just tossed out into a natural body of water, such as the ocean or the river, where it would be diluted and dissipate naturally.
This is one of the main reason why early humans settled around large bodies of water. In present times, sewage is treated before being dumped out at sea. Definitely a much cleaner (and better smelling) way of dealing with waste.
