This book, part of the broader discussion of municipal waterworks in the mid-19th century, is a thorough analysis of the Quebec waterworks system, around a decade after its 1848 opening. The author travelled to the city in 1860 to spend time with the works, scrutinizing every aspect of its function from pipe dimensions to pressure at various city points. The author discovered that this city's water infrastructure was, for its time, quite advanced, yet it was also not delivering on its promise of indoor plumbing for all residents due to excessive water waste. The author discusses means of encouraging responsible water consumption so that the city could benefit from its significant investment in clean drinking water infrastructure.
