Barnard describes the overarching goal of the water industry as people before profit, and his reference to improved social justice by way of legal protection against injuries caused by drinking polluted water still plays out today. In the end, this article is a good reminder that the water industry is about more than “pushing water through pipes,” that we have always struggled against pollution and to protect public health, and that it is our past success in these efforts that breeds in consumers “a faith that is the greatest asset of the water department.”
