REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
Melrose Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN, - I herewith submit to you my annual report, showing the transactions, operations, and present condition of the Water Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1886.
THE POND.
A sudden thaw in February caused a rapid rise of the water, which for a time gave no little anxiety for the safety of the dam, without, however, any serious results, although a large quantity continued running through the waste-way for several days. The water remained at high-water mark, or above, till April 26.
During the past year several substantial and needed improve- ments have been made by Malden and Melrose at the pond and about the gate-house. About thirty feet of sixteen-inch pipe has been connected with the gate-house and extended into the pond; the dam has been strengthened, a wall built on each side of the roll-way, the channel for the overflow widened, and a wall built at the sides to prevent the water from washing the driveway, which has been widened and newly graded.
Since the town has been supplied from the reservoir, the water is of much purer quality, being drawn from the pond at a greater depth and gravelly bottom, and is therefore free from the mud and leaves that formerly found their way into the pipes under the gravity system.
The lowest point reached was Nov. 10, when the water was fifty-five inches below high-water mark; since that time it has continued to rise, and at present (Dec. 31) is forty-seven inches below.

REPORT OF WATER ,COMMISSIONERS.
IMPROVED WATER SUPPLY.
The water was turned on from the reservoir Sept. 2. The increased pressure on the pipes caused, for a time, quite a large number of breaks, although at present the number is greatly diminished, and probably the weak places are about all repaired.
It was found in all cases that the breaks occurred in the pipes first laid, and were caused by the pipes becoming rusty · from imperfect cementing. None of the breaks having occurred in the pipes laid by the town, is conclusive proof that the cement-lined pipes are of sufficient strength to with- stand the increased pressure, when properly laid.
