Milwaukee water quality: then

Waterworks in Milwaukee date back to the mid-1800s, when the city was growing rapidly. Approximately 30,000 wells, the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic Rivers supplied water to the city. However, their location near polluting facilities put public health at risk from waterborne illnesses, according to The City of Milwaukee.

As the population increased, so did the need for clean and reliable drinking water. In 1872, the Milwaukee Water Works was established to provide this vital service to the city’s residents. The original water source was Lake Michigan, which provided an abundant supply of fresh water that could be treated and distributed throughout the city.

During the early 20th century, chlorine was introduced as a disinfectant to combat diseases like cholera and typhoid. Milwaukee water quality was further enhanced by sand filtration and ozone treatment.
