REPORT
OF THE
WATER COMMISSIONERS
FROM
December 1, 1896, to November 30, 1897.
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To his Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and the Common Council of the City of New- buryport:
GENTLEMEN :- The board of water commission- ers of the city of Newburyport submit to you here- with their annual report for the year ending Nov. 30, 1897.
Referring to our report made to Nov. 30, 1896, would now say that in the early part of 1897, settle- ments were made with the engineer, contractor, parties that furnished material, etc., in payment for the improvements carried on at the works during the previous season.
After the spring opened and during the last sum- mer the grounds around and in the vicinity of the basins were underdrained, graded, and either turfed or sown with grass.
An opportunity presenting itself to purchase the real estate known as the "John Moulton farm" at a reasonable price, the board deemed it desirable to do so, and the property was transferred to the city in May, 1897, at a cost of $1,025.
360
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The large and small pumps at the pumping station have received attention the past year, and repairs so long needed have been made in a thorough manner.
Aside from these changes which seemed essential, and what has been required to keep the plant in or- der and supply the needs of consumers, the commis- sioners have not deemed it expedient to make any extended improvements or outlay.
The commissioners have given much attention to the question of meter rates for water. They have adopted new regulations for the use of meters, and in April last reduced the minimum rate to be charg- ed for water by measure, to a basis of an average use of not less than 125 gallons per day. The fixed water rates remain as heretofore for reasons alluded to in our former report.
In July last the committee on public property made request that the commissioners furnish water for the fountain erected at the junction of Toppan street with High street, free of charge, which request has been complied with.
Water for sprinkling the streets of the city was furnished during the season of 1897, under an agree- ment made between the board and the city commit- tee on municipal sprinkling, the details of this arrangement having been made to the satisfaction of both parties.
The city government of last year declined to make the board any compensation for water used for the fire department, also, contrary to the practice heretofore
361
WATER COMMISSIONERS.
observed, declined to pay for water used in the public buildings for the six months ending Nov. 30, 1897.
It would seem that there should be no question as regards the city paying for the water used in its sev- eral departments. "The city, as a whole, requires water for fire protection, sprinkling streets, schools and other public purposes. It is an injustice to take no account of this consumption in estimating the revenues of the water department, and water used in this way should be charged to, and paid for by the consumer, that is to say, the city, and as all property profits equally by this service this cost of the water should be met by general taxation." If this is not done the individual water takers must be called on not only to pay for the cost of furnishing the water they use, but also for the cost of the water used by the city in its corporate capacity. The commission- ers trust the present city government will approve this view of the matter and arrange accordingly.
Accompanying this report will be found a financial statement for the year, compiled by the treasurer, the certificates of the semi-annual auditing of the ac- counts, also the annual report of the superintendent.

WATER COMMISSIONERS.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN :- I hereby submit to you the annual report of the superintendent for the year 1897.
STORAGE BASIN.
Owing to the lateness of the season (November, 1896) when the Storage and Moulton basins were finished, the land surrounding them could not be graded or turfed, thus leaving a large amount of the water-shed bare of grass, which caused us considera- ble trouble to prevent the washing of large quantities of earth and sand into the basins with the water. Our efforts in this direction were not in all cases suc- cessful, but after the winter had passed, the basin was cleared, the top of the slopes turfed, and a good screened gravel walk six feet wide made to encircle the storage basin, outside of which is a paved gutter to carry off the water to the river which is not fit to go into the basin.
SOURCES OF SUPPLY.
The brook leading from the Moulton springs and vicinity has been underdrained and paved from its
376
ANNUAL REPORTS.
source to where it enters the settling basin, after' which the slopes were turfed, making a very neat appearance.
The brook leading from the woods near the Bart- lett springs has been paved for about one-third its length, and a large stone catch-basin placed at its upper end to intercept the sand and earthy matter on its way to the basin.
The land on the west side of the basin has been underdrained, ploughed, and sown down to grass, it being late in the season before this was done, it did not give the grass much time to get a start before the frost set in.
A large amount of turfing has been done upon the slopes wherever there was a chance of the earth being washed into the basin, which has proved to be of great benefit to the quality of the water. I would advise the board to continue these improvements on the land surrounding the wells in the coming summer.
The grounds around the Pumping station have been graded and turfed, and gravel walks laid to the entrances. The road should have some attention the coming summer.
BARTLETT SPRINGS.
The well at the Bartlett springs has been cleaned and about three cart loads of sand taken out. All the sources of supply are now furnishing good whole- some water.
WATER COMMISSIONERS. 1 377
JACKMAN SPRINGS.
During the year 1897 the Jackman springs pump was run for ninety-nine (99) days, coal used 21 tons. 21 tons at $3.65 per 2, 240 lbs $ 76 00
Labor and expenses 200 00
Total. $276 00
It can be seen by these figures alone that it would be a great saving to bring this water around by grav- ity instead of pumping as at present. We could then use the water from that source every day in the year and it would certainly improve the water we are now supplying our citizens with, as it is a much softer water than that supplied from the wells.
PUMPING STATION. BOILERS.
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Co.'s report for Dec., 1897, states the condition, care and the management of the boilers are good.
PUMPING ENGINES.
The large pumping engines which were in such a weak condition were repaired and strengthened in the early spring, which put them in fair condition to do duty as a spare set of pumps, but they are not what they should be as far as economy in fuel is con- cerned, and if necessary to run every day it would be money saved to throw them out and put in their place a more modern set of pumps. The average amount of coal consumed per day when these pumps are used is about 2,450 pounds.

-
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The small pumping engines which had run so many years without repairs and which were liable to break down at any time owing to the condition which they were in, were given to Albert Russell & Sons under contract to put them in thorough repair, which was done in a first-class manner, and they have now been running night and day since June 23d, and are still giving the best of satisfaction. The saving of coal since being repaired is quite an item, 500 pounds per day, or 80 tons per year. There is also the sat- isfaction of knowing that both sets of pumps can be relied upon in case of emergency, or large conflagra- tion in our city.
BOILER AND PUMP ROOMS.
These rooms have been painted and whitened in a very artistic manner, new gauge boards have been made, and the gauges nickeled, the floors relaid with new brick, and much credit is due to our engineer, Mr. Butler, who has always shown a disposition to have everything in and about the station in good order
NEW SUCTION PIPE.
A new six inch cast iron pipe two hundred and sixty feet long was laid to the river for the condenser pump, which does not seem to give entire satisfaction owing to the mud and sea-weed which is washed into it by the tide. I would recommend that a sur- face condenser be put in the boiler room large enough to take care of both sets of pumps. With this type
379
WATER COMMISSIONERS.
of condenser no river water would be required as the water on its way to the mains can be used, and there would be no corrosion, and a much better vacuum can be obtained, and only a small air pump required, which would take but little fuel to run.
STANDPIPE.
Owing to occasional complaints of discolored water by takers on High street, below Jefferson street, which came at intervals, when it was well known to us that we were supplying water of good quality, free from mud or dirt, and there being no heavy draughts upon the mains, the superintendent came to the conclusion that it must come from the standpipe. A piece of galvanized pipe was made twelve inches in diameter by six feet long and this was lowered down into the opening in the bottom of the standpipe so as to hold in the mud and dirty water, which was constantly running in and out with the change of height of water therein. This action coved to be the remedy, as scarcely a complaint is now heard about discolored water.
MAINS.
During the year the extension of the mains were as follows:
