Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep. Tonight's reading comes from The Filtration of Public

Water Supplies, published in 1905 and written by Alan Hazen.

This book looks at the early days of large scale water filtration,

beginning in the mid-1850s.
