Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extracts From Reports Upon Pure Water Supply for the City of Ottawa, 1911 We find the Water of the Ottawa River, which is the pres ent source of supply, to be polluted and unfit for a public supply either at the present intake or at any other point where the intake could reasonably be placed. We are of the opinion that the pollution will increase and not diminish. The Hypochlorite treatment now in use greatly improves the supply by destroying the bacteria. It does not remove the color or other organic impurities. In other words it disinfects but does not clean up the water as must be done in order to make it acceptable as a public water supply. For these rea sons its use must be considered a temporary measure and not a permanent solution of the water problem. No system of sand filtration, either simple or multiple without chemical treatment. Is capable of removing the colour and the excessive amount of organic matter in the Ottawa River water.
