SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


WATER BOARD, 1900.


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 submit their six- teenth annual report for the year ending December 31st, 1900, with a statement of the income and expenditures of the depart_ ment, and as Trustees of the Sinking Fund, a statement of its investments.


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 E. J. Shattuck, Chairman, J. F. Callahan, Clerk.


FINANCIAL STATEMENT IN BRIEF.


Cost of works to Dec. 31, 1900,


$166,274 22


DEBT STATEMENT.


Bonds and Notes issued,


$128,750 00


Bonds and Notes paid, 44,750 00


Bonds and Notes not due,


$84,000 00

Net Debt Dec. 31, 1900,

$14,284 73


In presenting this report of the operations of the Water De- partment, the Commissioners desire to congratulate the citizens of the town on the continued successful working of this depart- ment, also that the supply has been equal to the demand.


The income from the works has met all current expenses and repairs, including $4,200.00 for Sinking Fund requirements,


4


$750 00 for notes issued September 20th, 1899, $3,510.00 for interest on the bonded debt, and a considerable addition to plant account, leaving a balance in the treasury of $1,703.07 from the operations of the year.


The receipts from water rates were $14,284.73, an increase of $306.38 over last year. The Maintenance and Repair Account for the year was $4,007.15, or $319.27 less than for the previous year, or a net increase in the income of $725.65.


The hydrants and gate valves have received the usual atten- tion, necessary repairs having been made to several. A new eight-inch gate was placed on the Washington street line near the Norwood Press. This was necessary, so that repairs may be made at points on the line without depriving some of our large customers of a water supply during these repairs. Five new hydrants have been added to the line, making a total of one hun- dred forty-nine (149) in use.


The reservoir received its usnal attention in the early summer. The water was drawn off, and the sides and bottom were care- fully swept with brooms. A small quantity of fine sand or sediment pumped from the pond and a few live fish were found, but nothing detrimental to public health.


In the month of June we made an application to the State Board of Health for more extended power in the control of Buckmaster's Pond and its tributaries, with a view of enforcing certain measures which would relieve our water supply from dan- ger of pollution. After careful consideration the State Board of Health has given us the necessary authority, and measures will be taken to keep our water supply in good condition.


The buildings and machinery of the department are in good condition.


The large pumping engine has been in constant use since 1SS5, and with proper care will render good service for several years. The auxiliary pump, installed in 1888, has not sufficient capacity to economically perform the duty that would be required of it in the event of an accident to the large pump. We feel that we are running somewhat near the danger line, and we shall soon recommend an appropriation for a new engine.

The Board was authorized to issue four one thousand dollar four percent water bonds, numbered from 121 to 124, both in- clusive, payable June 1, 1920. Proposals for the purchase of these bonds were received from the following :

The extensions to the main pipe lines have been made in accor- dance with the vote of the town, and the usual guaranty of six percent on the cost of same has been signed by pirties interest- ed in the introduction of a water supply on these streets. The two-inch wrought iron pipes on Cross, Linden, Williams and Rot- ton Row streets, laid in 1885, have become so badly corroded as to be almost useless. Your Board has relaid in these streets four and six inch cast iron pipes, and has treated these extensions as an addition to the plant as the original pipes were intended for temporary use only.
