Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on a Peculiar Condition of the Water Supplied to the City of Boston, 1875-76
The taste to most, persons seems like that of cucum bers other persons, and indeed the same persons at other times, have pronounced it a fishy taste. At Brookline reservoir, especially at the screens, a fishy taste may usually be noticed; at Chestnut Hill I never distinguished anything but the cucumber taste.
