REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SEWER DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
(For Financial Statement see Auditor's Report)
Sewer Construction
Approximately five miles of common sewers were built during the year 1930. About two miles of these sewers were located in the Norfolk Downs and Montclair Section, the balance being scat- tered over the various sections of the city.
Two and one-quarter miles of the Squantum Sewerage System have been installed to date and it is planned to build as much more this year, principally in the northeast side. This section will be difficult and expensive to construct, but will take care of the most thickly settled part of Squantum.
Particular Sewers
The number of house connections made to buildings for the year was 347 in wards as follows:
Ward 1
68 Ward 4. 73
Ward 21 Ward 5. 80
Ward 3 27 Ward 6 78
The total number of feet laid in these connections was 15,991 at a cost of $15,620.84, thus making the average cost per foot $.976. Average length per connection. 46.1 feet
Average cost per connection
$44.99
Buildings as follows:
Single houses 261
Hospital
1
2-family houses 31 School
1
3-family houses
1 Restaurant
1
4 apartments and over 23 Mercantile 26
1 Manufacturing 1 Bank
Maintenance
The cleaning and flushing of the system has been carried on as usual.
Surface and Storm Drains
Approximately six miles of drains have been constructed, vary- ing in size from 8" to 60" in diameter. Vitrified clay pipe, con- crete, plain and reinforced, and metal pipe have been used in this work.
Included with the City Engineer's report will be found a table showing the location, length, size and kind of material used in this work.
Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK E. TUPPER,
Commissioner of Public Works.
