How much historical accuracy is there involved?

Thank you!

I found this one:
http://www.museum-marseille.org/marseille_histoire_le_xix.htm

It says:
Due to a growing population water supply got scarce and infections related with shortage of water (like cholera) were favoured.
Marseille had 140,000 inhabitants in 1834 and less than 3500 died of cholera. Measures were taken to improve the water situation.
