Sewers and Sewerage
A new sewage disposal plant has been built at Cochrane which is intended to protect those who depend for a water supply on the creek through which the sewage of the town drains north to the Abitibi River. This protection will have more than ordinary value because of the large number of typhoid carriers which contribute to the Cochrane sewage.
