It has been suggested that the water from Apple Creek by filtered. Land or mechanical filtration is for large quantities unsatisfactory, unless most carefully watched, and very expensive. Cities adopting it now do so under the stress only of urgent financial necessity or because no plan for obtaining naturally pure water is available. Many records of failures exist and some expensive plants have been abandoned.

The dangers outlined above in all surface water supplies may perhaps cause some to think that after all, the fine, sweet waters of the shallow wells dug in our grandfather's day or the deep driven wells of more recent times, may afford a pure and wholesome supply.
What are the geological condition in and about Wooster bearing on this point? By a reference to the report of the State Geologist we find that the [[City Of Wooster|city of Wooster]] is located upon the uppermost layers of what is known as the Waverley series of rocks the formation immediately under much of the city consisting of coarse, earthy and loosely stratified sandstones.
