Abstract

BY an Act of the Legislature of the State of Ohio, U.S.A., it is provided that no city, village, or corporation shall introduce a public water supply, or system of sewerage; or change or extend any public water supply or outlet of any sewage unless the proposed works shall have been submitted to, and received the approval of, the State Board of Health; and by a subsequent Act it was ordered that the Board of Health should examine and report annually on the condition of all public water supplies. The enactment of these laws grew out of the general recognition of the fact that the pollution of streams and lakes by sewage had already reached a point when it had become a menace to public health, and that some intelligent supervision and control of the sources of public water supply had become necessary.
