REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS


For the Year Ending March 1, 1913.


We now have 166 water connections, with prospects of several more this season.


The cost for electric power in thawing frozen mains early last spring, amounting to $113.00, was owing to no fault of the water system, as the severity of the weather caused large expenditures for the same work in every New England water system.


The public watering trough has been connected with the town supply, and in case of low water at the "Hunt's pond", this supply will be turned on, thus providing for continuous running water at the trough the full year.


The wisdom of the town in constructing the water system when it did becomes more and more apparent, for during the continued drought of the past three seasons, we have had an abundance of the purest water. With the advanced prices for labor and all kinds of materials, the cost of building the system now, would probably be from $10,000 to $12,000 more than it cost when built.


Our three hose companies, are well equipped, and our telephone fire alarm system is ready for instant use at all times.


The matter of further reduction of fire insurance rates is still being insisted on, with hope of success. The reduction already made of about 17%, while saving the owners of property covered by the protection, a large sum of money annually, is not accepted as an adequate reduction, considering our first-class fire-fighting facilities, and a 25% reduction is sought for.


17


It is a satisfaction to the commissioners to be able to say that the superintendent has collected all water bills due, leaving a per- fectly clean sheet for the year.


Following is the detail report of the year's operations :-
