Second Report of an Investigation of the Rivers of Ohio as Sources of Public Water Supplies, 1899 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Report of an Investigation of the Rivers of Ohio as Sources of Public Water Supplies, 1899 The public water supply of Bucyrus is badly polluted, and fortunately is held in such low esteem as to be but little, if at all, used for domestic purposes. The filters in use afford no adequate purification of the supply. At Upper Sandusky the river, which has not recovered from its gross pollution at Bucyrus, is again used to receive sewage. While the conditions here are not nearly so bad as at Bucyrus, any increase in the amount of sewage of Upper Sandusky will create a serious nuisance.
