REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD.


The Water Board herewith submit their sixth annual report, for the year ending December 31, 1890, with statement of finances for the year, and also the condition of Sinking Fund : ---


At the annual town meeting, held in March, John Gillooly was re-elected a member of the Board for three years. The Board organized by the choice of Edmund J. Shattuck as Chairman.


During the past year we have had but one leak in the main pipes and two in the service pipes, which were repaired at an expense of $6.00. One slight leak in the new main on Prospect Street was repaired at an expense of $2.00, and charged to the account of the contractor.


The hydrants and gates have been examined, and, so far as known, are in perfect working order. Five new hydrants have been set on extensions during the past year, making a total of one hundred and three hydrants in use.


In our report of 1890 we recommended the appropriation of $500.00 to build a fence to protect the reservoir. Our recom- mendation was based on the estimate of cost by one of our builders. Plans and specifications were prepared, and the fol- lowing bids were received : Geo. F. Bagley, $655.00; Walker & Goodwin, $623.24; Milton H. Howard, $490.00. The contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, M. II. Howard. Several weeks after the award was made Mr. Howard in- formed the Board that he had made an error in his estimate, and declined to proceed with the work. The Board then awarded the contract to the next lowest bidders, Messrs. Walker & Goodwin, at $623.24.


93


Service Pipes and Extensions of Mains.


During the year the work in laying service pipes and extensions of maius have been as follows : -


Total number of service pipes laid during year, 48. Total length of service pipes laid, 884 feet.


Total cost, $365.26.


The extensions of main pipes have been in accordance with the vote of the town. Guarautys have been signed by parties believed to be responsible, for the required six per cent. on the estimated cost of the work. The appropriation for the extension of main pipes on Prospect and Cottage Streets were made for the purpose of perfecting the system, and were without the usual guaranty.

PUMPING STATION.


At the pumping station no changes or repairs of conse- quence have been made.


The buildings, boiler, and pumping engines are in good condition.


The sum of $127.00 was expended and charged to repairs for repairing and changing reservoir gauge pipe and raising the grade of the grounds south of pumping station. This work was deemed necessary to proteet the grounds, and turn the surface water from the street, which formerly flowed into the pond, to the brook below the outlet.


Summary of record of pond gauge will be found on page 95.


Record of pumping engine on page 96.


The reservoir was drained and earefully eleaned, and found to be remarkably free from sediment.


RECOMMENDATION.


The Board desire to make the following recommenda- tion : --


The street leading from Winter Street to the reservoir has not received as much attention from our worthy Superin- tendent of Streets as the other streets in town. We recom- mend that the sum of $100.00 be appropriated and expended, under the direction of the Water Commissioners; $75.00 to be used in planting maple trees on both sides of the street, and $25.00 to be used in keeping the street free from weeds and bushes.
