In a letter to city manager William E. Reynolds Wallace & Tiernan Co. of Newark argues that chlorine used for water sterilization does not make water corrosive. They note about four billion gallons daily treated with chlorine in major cities and cite boiler horsepower as evidence of noncorrosive water. The letter adds that free chlorine would likely be found absent in town water analyses.
