After the epidemic of 1849, the British Parliament demanded by the Metropolis Water Act of 1852, all the water was gone from London before distribution through slow sand filters. The usefulness of this method will be demonstrated in 1892 when the city of Altona who resorted was spared by the cholera hit hard yet the nearby city of Hamburg.
