Am I the only one that had a three sea shells reference pop into my head while reading this.

No, but thanks to you I will henceforth!

One would assume the Merciful Builders foresaw this issue and included regular access to sewage pipes/tunnels for this reason.
Mith:
As someone in Civil Engineering, I think the best idea is to not think too hard about this. Or assume these fantastical Builders came up with an ingenious design system that is self maintaining. Or perhaps they put in regular inlets and outlets throughout each Habbles. With devices that flow the length of the pipes finding and fixing problems.

I tend to picture a more modular system, rather than a massive Network with centralized systems. So each habble only has to deal with the utility needs of it's own residents more or less, and only has to move material to it's neighbors (rather than the whole height of the spire). This also may be the reason why some of those habbles are currently unoccupied, rather than simply a matter of the population not being at capacity.
