Annual Report


OF THE


Board of Water Commissioners


ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


Board of Water Commissioners


To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of New- buryport :


GENTLEMEN : - The ninth annual report of the Board of Water Commissioners for the year ending November 30, 1904, is herewith presented.


After the Fiberloid fire last spring, realizing the need of better protection for the manufacturies in that district, it was voted to continue the 12-inch pipe in State street to the foot of Lime street by the way of Liberty, Fair and Water streets. All the hydrants on this line are the large 6-inch and have been connected to this pipe.


An 8-inch pipe has been laid from High to Monroe street by way of Carter, Eagle and Warren streets, and a hy- drant set at the corner of Eagle and Warren streets, to fur- nish additional fire protection for the Cordage Co.'s build- ings. A 6-inch pipe has been laid in Dalton street, from


333


334


ANNUAL REPORTS


Hill, for the purpose of supplying the sprinkler system at the George W. Richardson Co.'s plant.


2-inch pipes have been laid in Withington street and Plummer avenue for supplies. A service has been laid to the Woodbridge School, the Town of Newbury paying the cost of the same.


The two dead ends in Lincoln street and Beacon Ave- nue have been connected; also a dead end in Neptune street has been tied into Water street. The small iron pipe in Central Place has been relaid with a 2-inch cement lined pipe.


104 applications for water have been received during the year for which 82 service pipes were laid, requiring 2769 feet of pipe.


The water was drawn from the standpipe in May and the inside given a thorough cleaning, and three coats of paint, and the outside one coat. The grounds around the same have been kept in good condition.


All the hydrants in the city have been painted and pre- sent a neat appearance.


Owing to the continued cold weather last winter a large number of the service pipes and hydrants were frozen; our men by constant labor were able to keep all the hydrants clear and most of the services.


The worst trouble was experiencel on Jackson street. During the last summer all the services in this street were connected to the six inch pipe; this ought to do away with any further trouble in this street.


335


WATER COMMISSIONERS


There have been eight breaks in main pipes and thir- teen in service pipes during the year.


During the cold weather of last winter and the month of August, this summer, the water in the pond was low and it became necessary to notify all takers to be as careful in their use as possible; the supply for street sprinkling was also cut off.


Under the direction of the board, Engineer Butler has been driving a number of wel's, in different locations, on our land. Sixteen of these are flowing finely and we esti- mate that they increase our supply 125,oco gallons per day. We are still continuing this work and hope to fur- ther increase the supply.


The main twelve inch pipe in Spring Lane, near the pumping station has been relaid a distance of 360 feet, to do away with a bad curve in the old pipe. The road and gutter leading to the pumping station have been put in first class repair, and the grounds around the station kept looking neat and attractive.


The following is the pumping record for the year.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT


Your commissioners beg leave to submit the following additional financial statement covering estimated receipts and expenditures for the current year.


Income from fixtures and meters, and all other sources ex-


cept the city .


$38,725 00


(This estimate is made upon the receipts for last year )


EXPENSES


Bonds maturing June 1, 1905 $12,000 00


Interest due


6,000 00


" December 1, 1905 . 6,000 00 Maintenance based upon the last four years. 10, 116 00


Making a total of . $34,116 00 Leaving $4,609 00 which can be applied to construction.


The above statement will probably apply as far as the ordinary income and running expenses of the plant will be for a number of years, except a slight increase in takers, and the reduction annually in interest on $12,000 worth of bonds retired.

WATER COMMISSIONERS


Your commissioners feel that $4,600 will not be enough to meet the requirements of the plant in regard to im- provements absolutely necessary to be done and would recommend for your careful consideration an appropria- tion for fire service and use of water in public buildings.


At the present time large properties are receiving the protection of the water system, getting lower insurance rates by use of sprinklers and the introduction of larger pipes and the maintenance of higher pressure, for which they are in no way contributors by direct payments to the commissioners or by assessment through general taxa- tion.


Your commissioners feel that an appropriation to be mutually agreed upon, will enable them to maintain the present rates to consumers and would put the payment of the cost made necessary by insurance requirements upon the property benefitted thereby. Of the total assessed val- uation of the city within the area of the water supply, there is a large percentage of property protected against fire without any water taxation whatever, while the small property holder and takers are made to pay for all the ex- penses of running the plant, together with retirement of bonds and such free use of water as is given, thereby mak- ing a very unjust discrimination.


We would further suggest that the Frog pond water system be placed under the care of the commissioners and that the same be put upon the map which shows the city's system for fire protection.
