REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
FOR THE YEAR 1888.
To the Town of Melrose :
In compliance with an Act of the Legislature passed April 2, 1870, the Melrose Water Board have the honor of submit- ting their nineteenth annual report ; also the report of the superintendent containing a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures, and operations of the water department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1888.
It is with sorrow that we enter upon our report the death of our much esteemed associate, John R. Jones, who died at his residence on Prospect street, on Thursday, Nov. 15th. We shall always cherish his memory for his kind words and acts and the faithful and conscientious discharge of all his duties as a member of our board for the past four years.
During the months of February and March, with Malden and Medford, we had all the brush in the western part of the pond cut and burned, preventing large quantities of veg- etable matter floating into the pond and decomposing, there- by improving the quality of the water.
A new copper suction pipe and strainer has been placed in the pond attached to the main pipe by a swivel joint so that it can be raised to the surface, if necessary, for the pur- pose of cleaning and repairing ; also, for taking water from any depth that circumstances may require. At present we are drawing water from near the surface, believing it to be purer than from the bottom.
PUMPING STATION.
The pumping engine at the station has been run the past as during the previous year, to the entire satisfaction of your
96
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
board, with very slight expense for repairs, and is now in perfect working condition.
The pier covering the shore section of the suction pipe has been raised about two feet, and graded, and the grounds around the pumping station been much improved in appear- ance.
THE RESERVOIR.
During the summer a substantial fence has been built around the reservoir lot, to protect it from contamination of all kinds. The grounds and embankments have been im- proved during the year by the frequent cutting of the grass, and the removal of stumps and stones. During the month of October the water was drawn from the reservoir and the bot- tom and sides thoroughly cleansed, and was found to be in excellent condition.
The months of January and February were unprecedented in the history of the water works, for the extreme and long continued cold weather, freezing the ground in many places below the water mains. Consequently many of the main pipes were frozen, necessitating the employment of a large force of men to thaw out and repair the mains and service pipes damaged by the frost.
Nine hundred and sixty feet of 10-inch pipe has been laid in Washington street, connecting with pipes already laid in that street, and thus forming a new circuit through Trenton street, by which the town could be supplied with water should it be necessary to shut off the 16-inch main on Wyo- ming avenue, from Masonic Hall to Ravine road.
Your commissioners recommend an appropriation for the year 1889, as follows :
For hydrants, school houses, Town Hall, engine and hose houses, ornamental and drinking fountains, the sum of $3,000.00.
