De l’eau partout, pour tous : La naissance du service d’eau universel à Montréal au milieu du XIXe siècle
Abstract
Montreal's waterworks began with the private system installed by Joseph Frobisher and the "Company of Proprietors of the Montreal Waterworks" in 1800. The first waterworks was a system using wooden pipes that transferred water from a creek in Cote Des Neiges, around the west side of Mount Royal and into two reservoirs situated in Montreal. In 1851 Montreal instituted a public system, and the following year the city's Chief Engineer, Thomas C. Keefer, developed a method involving the aqueduct canal to convey what was found to be the most reliable and "pure" source of water from the St. Lawrence River.
