WATER COMMISSIONERS
Report of Water Commissioners
February 5, 1941.
To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council,
City of Newburyport, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The forty-fifth annual report of the Board of Water Commissioners is respectfully submitted herewith:
During the past year a considerable amount of maintenance and construction work was carried on by the Board. It has been the policy of the department to relay pipes where needed during reconstruction of the highways. The most extensive work was the replacing of the old 6 inch main on Pleasant Street with a 12 inch main which will give the business section of the city improved fire protection.
Acting under Chap. 402 of the Acts of 1908, the Town of Newbury, through its water committee, requested a purchase price of that portion of our system within the town. Several meetings were held by the Board with the Committee which resulted in the Board submitting to the town, a contract for selling the system, furnishing water and maintenance of the system.
Although industrial growth in the city has not been evident, yet the water con- sumption figures show a steady increase during the past two years.
The growth of apartment houses in the city presents to the Board the problem of re-adjustment of water rates for that type dwelling or the gradual introduction of meters.
To educate the citizens of the city in the operation of their water department, a moving picture film titled "From Source to Service" has been prepared. It is available for all organizations.
May we thank you for your co-operation and extend our appreciation for the sup- port and loyalty of the department employees.
Respectfully submitted,
Clerk of Board: Gertrude C. Gorwaiz
DANIEL J. REARDON, MICHAEL SWEENEY, THOMAS F. MCGRATH, WILLARD S. LITTLE, MALCOLM G. AYERS,
Board of Water Commissioners.
