Hearings of the International Joint Commission in re remedies for the pollution of boundary waters between the United States and Canada

by International Joint Commission

Mr. Gardner. Your concern has been chiefly in regard to your water supply?

Mr. Bryson. It has been to protect ourselves.

Mr. Gardner. And you have no complaint to make about the water being polluted in the stream above you?

Mr. Bryson. No.

Mr. Mignault. Are there any large towns below Brockville that would be polluted by your sewage?

Mr. Bryson. Prescott is the only possible place that could be affected by it, I think.

Mr. Powell. There is no surface sewage that passes into your western system?

Mr. Bryson. There is very little; nothing to speak of.

Mr. Powell. Does all the surface sewage in the lower system pass into your pipes?

Mr. Bryson. It passes into other pipes now; but for the last four years we have been taking out such surface sewage as we could because we have been having very heavy floods in the lower pipes of the town.
