REPORT OF BOARD OF


WATER COMMISSIONERS


WATER BOARD, 1894.


EDMUND J. SHATTUCK, Chairman, MARCUS M. ALDEN, JOHN F. CALLAHAN, G. A. P. BUCKNAM, Superintendent and Engineer.


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


The Board of Water Commissioners herewith present their tenth annual report, for the year ending December 31, 1894, with a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures.


At the annual town meeting Edmund J. Shattuck was re- elected Water Commissioner for the term of three years. The Board organized by choice of Edmund J. Shattuck as Chairman and Edwin A. Morse as Clerk.


On March 19, 1894, an accident at the factory of H. M. & H. E. Plimpton removed by death Mr. Morse, a prominent and useful citizen, and an energetic member of this Board. His loss was not only felt by his associates in this department, but by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.


At a special town meeting, held April 16, 1894, John F. Callahan was elected Water Commissioner, to fill out the un- expired term of the late E. A. Morse.


While no important work or changes are noted in the operations of the past year, it may well be considered in many respects the most successful of any since the Works were es- tablished. It is a subject of congratulation that, although the consumption of water has increased over that of previous years, our supply has been abundant, and of a high standard of purity. With this increase, however, there has been a gratifying increase in revenue. Our receipts for water rates for this year have been $8,197.34, or $3,743.25 in excess of the year 1887, and the Maintenance and Repair Account has only increased $39.27 over that year. The receipts for this year,


94


including the balance on hand from 1893, have been sufficient to pay all operating expenses, Repairs, Interest, Sinking Fund requirements, Extension and Construction Accounts, leaving a balance in the treasury of $2,956.44, the town not having ap- propriated a dollar for this department.


In accordance with the advice of this Board, the town, at the last annual town meeting, voted to instruct the Water Commissioners to petition the Legislature for authority of the town to issue additional town bonds in the sum of $20,000.00. The Legislature passed an act that the town may issue the $20,000.00 of bonds, subject to the usual conditions.


Frequent complaints are made concerning a lack of pres- sure in service pipes. This is caused almost entirely from cor- rosion of the tar-lined wrought-iron now in use. The Board would advise the adoption of galvanized or lead pipe in all new service pipe work. Service pipes have been relaid this year at an expense of about $75.00.


The Board has succeeded in making satisfactory arrange- ments with the water takers in West Dedham in accordance with the vote of the town last year. The regular schedule rates have been collected since April 1. There is still some misunderstanding regarding an agreement inade by the first Water Board with the late Nathaniel Noyes, but we hope to adjust the matter in a satisfactory manner.


As Trustees of the Sinking Fund for the payment of Nor- wood Water Bonds, we make the following report of the investments : -

The money available for investment December 15 was about $7,000.00. Since the establishment of this fund the investments have been entirely in our town securities or in deposits in savings banks. At this time, an opportunity offered to purchase seven one thousand Town of Norwood Bonds, Nos. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, due August 1, 1895, at a premium of $1.31 and accrued interest. The payment of this premium is more than offset by the loss in interest if the money had been deposited in savings banks.


The reservoir structure continues in excellent condition, no repairs having been required. It was drained and thor- oughly cleaned in October. Since the erection of the fence enclosing the banks nothing has been found in the basin, except the fine sediment that is pumped from the pond. The usual care has been taken in keeping the banks and slopes free from grass and weeds.


The hydrants and gate valves have received careful atten- tion during the year, and, so far as known, are in perfect working order. Several hydrants have been re-located, owing to changes in street lines and grades. Slight repairs have been made to four. Two hydrants have been added to Wash- ington Street line, opposite the Norwood Press Works, at their expense. Two have been added to the line on extensions, making one hundred and sixteen now in use.


The pumping station and buildings are in good condition, no repairs having been necessary during the year. Slight repairs have been made to the boiler and engine. Attention


96


has been given the lawn and driveways. Suitable dressing was purchased and spread on the grass plots. The pumping engine is somewhat worn, and will require further repairs this year to preserve its efficiency. .


Record of pond gauge will be found on page 101. A statement of work performed by the pumping engine on page 99.

The following extensions of service pipe have been laid :-


Total number of service pipes laid 1894,

Total cost, $362 38


The following extensions of main pipe have been laid :

All extensions have been duly authorized by vote of the town, and subject to the usual guaranty for a term of ten years.


All water rates and construction bills for 1894 have been collected and paid to the Treasurer. One summons for non- payment of water rates was issued, which met with a prompt response.

The highest level reached during 1894 was on April 21, three inches above the crest. The lowest level on November 1, seventy-six inches below the crest at outlet.


Although weather statisticians report the drouth of this year more severe than 1893, our pond did not reach as low a level as in former years. At low water mark for 1894 there were ten and eight-twelfths feet of water over end of suction pipe.


RECOMMENDATION.


The Water Commissioners recommend the laying of a six- inch main pipe from the end of pipe on Monroe Street to the end on Cross Street, without guaranty. As the water mains are now laid, the entire supply to the car shops, Plimpton & Co.'s factory, and residents in that section, is conducted by the Guild Street main. If by accident or by frost this line should be incapacitated, it means temporary loss of employ- ment to many of our citizens, and a serious matter in case of fire. By this extension, a circulation and sufficient supply would be obtained via Railroad Avenue main.
