Our water is chlorinated. We use about 100 pounds of hypochloride to 3,000,000 gallons of water. It is put in as an equivalent, because we use gas instead of the chlorine.
Mr. Gardner. Have you more than one outlet to your sewage discharge?
Dr. Macauley. Yes; we have. We have an outlet at the western end of the town. Our engineer will give you the capacity of that outlet. Our main outlet is below the town and also below our intake pipe.
Mr. Powell. Your system of piping is a series of small pipes, is it not?
Dr. Macauley. Yes; but there is a trunk sewer.
Mr. Powell. How large are those pipes?
Dr. Macauley. The engineer can give you that information.
Mr. Powell. Dr. Macauley, on which side of the river is the riparian population increasing most rapidly, on the United States or the Canadian side?
Dr. Macauley. I think it is increasing most rapidly on the Canadian side; perhaps not in the summer resorts; there is quite a large population on the islands, but principally on the American side. The population is increasing very rapidly each year.
Mr. Powell. When you say on the Canadian side do you mean exclusive of Brockville?
