Nepean Bay (Canada)
Nepean Bay, is a bay in the Ottawa River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located between Lemieux Island and the Prince of Wales Bridge on the west and LeBreton Flats on the east. History In the early 20th Century, the bay was used for Ottawa's drinking water. In 1912, experts deemed the bay "no fit place under which to lay an intake pipe without great precautions", due to the intake pipe being in disrepair due to the number of logs in the bay from Ottawa's lumber industry. During a typhoid fever epidemic at the time, tests taken from drinking water from the bay showed that it was contaminated with pollution. Plans to build a pipeline to carry treated water over the bay as a bridge was dismissed as a "wild undertaking". In 1938, following complaints of "nude bathing" at the bay, the city entertained the possibility of establishing a public beach at the site. The southern half of the bay (40 acres) was in-filled with garbage from excavation work on government projects bet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
