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.
