Montréal water quality: then

The island city of Montréal has always had an abundance of water. In fact, early Mohawk inhabitants called the island “a place where nations and rivers unite and divide”. In the past, the region teemed with bodies of water, including Otter Lake, Saint Pierre River, Little St. Pierre River, and the Saint Martin River. In the 16th century, European settlers established a fur trading post on the island, at the junction of Petite Riviere and St. Lawrence River. However, as the population grew, the city met challenges in maintaining Montréal water quality. In the mid-1840s, they began pumping water from St. Lawrence into cisterns. “Fontainiers” handled water distribution, opening and closing water valves across the city.
