THE WATER SUPPLY

[Welland Tribune, 27 April 1906]

             Our attention has been called to the fact that the canal in the neighborhood of the feeder junction is frequented by large numbers of geese which pollute the water of the canal. A worse condition yet is that the water is notoriously filthy and full of disease breeding germs. As the water from the canal is used for the water supply for domestic purposes in both Welland and St. Catharines, these unsanitary conditions should be eliminated, if possible. The attention of the authorities is called to the matter.
