Public water supply systems are crucial to properly functioning societies. These systems are what supply drinking water to populations around the globe.

Erie Water Works
The Erie Water Works was incorporated in 1865 as the Erie Water and Gas Company to provide drinking water and fire hydrant water for the city of Erie, Pennsylvania. The Water Works, also known as the Erie City Water Authority, replaced the Erie Water Systems. Its board of commissioners operates independently of the city government. Origins A simple pump log syste(see 'bored logs')provided the first systematic water works for Erie beginning in 1840, tapping spring water on the Reed farm south of 18th Street and Parade Street.
