History and Present Status of Chlorination Practice in Kansas

Culp, Russell L.

This article discusses four events that had a significant effect on chlorination practice in Kansas: the discovery and use of hypochlorite solutions in 1908; the development of compressed chlorine gas and the development in 1917 of equipment to feed this material; the Newton waterborne epidemic of 1942; and, the Kansas State Board of Health's chlorination order of 1956. Each of these events has been followed by an upsurge in installation of chlorinators, and in each instance there has been a corresponding improvement in the bacteriologic quality of public water supplies. At present, with only one exception, all municipal water supplies in Kansas are chlorinated.
