SEWER DEPARTMENT
JANUARY 1, 1929.
HON. THOMAS J. MCGRATH, Mayor Quincy, Mass.
SIR :- The following is a description of the work done by the Sewer Division of the Public Works Department for the year end- ing Dec. 31, 1928.
For financial statement see the Auditor's report.
Approximately 7.5 miles of sanitary sewers were built this year entirely by day labor. This is about fifty per cent greater than our average yearly extensions and was due in part to the large street construction program and the start of a system of sewers for Squantum.
The appended table shows the location, length, size and number of manholes involved in the construction of these sewers.
The number of house connections made to buildings for the year were 624 in wards as follows :-
Ward 1
144 Ward 4 139
Ward 2
50 Ward 5 110
Ward 3
44 Ward 6. 137
The total number of feet laid in these connections 28,410.30 at a cost of $30,126.88, thus making the average cost per foot $1.060.
Average length per connection 45.53 feet Average cost per connection $48.58
Buildings as follows :
Single houses
443
Business blocks 26
Two-family houses 88
Halls
2
Three-family houses
1
Garages
3
Four apartments and over
45 Gas stations 3
Schools 2 Mercantile 11
The maintenance work, cleaning and flushing has been carried on in the usual manner this year.
Storm Drains
The supervision and construction of all new storm drains was performed by this department. With two exceptions this work was done entirely by day labor. Contracts were made with Coleman Brothers of Boston and Dennis F. Crowley of Quincy for the con- struction of drains in Water and Copeland Streets, Madison Av- enue to Phipps Street and for the Sunny Creek section and vicinity of Elm Avenue, Wollaston.
The completion of these drains has relieved the flooded areas materially. A tabulated list of these drains is included in the re- port of the City Engineer.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER S. MCKENZIE, General Foreman.
