The Chairman and Committee on Fire, Water and Light of the City Council of Winnipeg: - Gentlemen, I have the honor to submit the following report upon the water supply and also a system of water works for the City of Winnipeg. Two sources of supply have been examined: 1. The Assiniboine River. 2. Artesian Wells. A number of analyses of these waters have been made by Dr. W.A.B. Hutton, Prof. of Chemistry, Manitoba College and Dr. G.P. Girdwood of McGill College Medical Faculty, Montreal. An Analysis and report on the interpretation of the analyses of Artesian well waters has been made by Dr. T.M. Drown of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Chemist of the Mass. State Board of Health. Analysis alone is not conclusive as to the quality of the water. In addition to analysis the sources of supply, the character of the watershed, the kind of soil from which the water is obtained of through which it flows, the vegetation on the watershed, the population and manufacutres by which the water may be affected, must be known, in order to make it possible to determine whether the water is suitable for use or not.
