REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD
To the inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :
The Board organized with Walter S. Bigwood, Chairman and Alfred C. Damon, Secretary and Collector. Louis Petti- grew was reappointed Engineer.
Excessive Use of Water: The amount of water used at periods during the summer season now nearly equals the capa- city of the station. The Board wishes to warn against the wasteful and continual use of water on lawns and gardens.
The entire Town is supplied from the station at Baldwin's Pond. No water is being taken from the reservoir on Rice Road. The station is limited as to the amount of water that can be pumped and with reasonable use no difficulty would be encountered in keeping up the supply. There were times last summer when there were only 100,000 gals. of water stored in the standpipe.
Unless some caution is used in the wasteful use of water it will be necessary for the Town to install additional wells or meter the entire system at a considerable expense.
The Board wishes to call your attention to Article 2, Rules and Regulations of the Wayland Water Board.
"Applicants for service shall state in their application all the purposes for which they intend to use water, and no other use thereof shall be made. No fixtures other than those stated in this application shall be installed by the con- sumers without giving written notice to the Board of Water Commissioners."
The contract for the extension of 6-inch water main from Wayland Golf Club along Old Sudbury Road to River Road through River Road to residence of James Solemine and from the junction of River Road and Water Row, along Water Row
191
to the residence of Frederick Gilly was awarded to J. J. Ducey Construction Company for the sum of $3,200.
During the past year there were ten leaks in the water mains, all of which occurred in the wooden mains along Old Connecticut Path and Sycamore Road. These pipe lines will have to be relaid in the near future.
We wish to thank the Wayland Chapter of the American National Red Cross for their co-operation in handling the bathing situation at Baldwin's Pond in such an efficient manner.
WALTER S. BIGWOOD, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk, FRANCIS K. IRWIN.
Report of Superintendent of Water Works
Main line work:
Connection was made between the 12-inch and 4-inch mains on North Main Street opposite Sunset Road with a 6-inch pipe and 6x4 cross with 6-inch stub end and valve leading to Sunset Road. A main valve was placed on 4-inch line ten feet south of cross. The 4-inch main is now supplied from the 12-inch main at both ends with controlling valves at either end. Two tees were cut in on 4-inch main with stub ends and valves lead- ing to side roads. All main valve-boxes on new road from Memorial Square to Mr. Shaw's barn had to be adjusted to new grades. Twelve broken boxes had to be replaced with new. Main Extensions:
Sudbury Road-River Road (contract) 6-inch, 3,000 ft.
River Road (Water department ) 4-inch, 220 ft.
Water Road (Water department) 4-inch, 180 ft.
Blow-off installed : River Road 2
Gate valves installed :
Sudbury Road 6-inch 1
North Main Street 6-inch 1
North Main Street 4-inch 3
Markers for main gate valves were put in on Lincoln Road, Glezen Road, Connecticut Path.
192
Service Line Work:
All old services on North Main Street were renewed from main to property line before new road was constructed. All services on same road were connected to main nearest property doing away with digging across road for future service repairs. Service boxes on other parts of system were brought to grade and broken boxes replaced.
New services installed 1932 14
Service pipe installed 810 ft.
Services renewed main to property (Cochituate) 33
Service boxes brought to grade 40
Service boxes replaced with new 12
Hydrants :
Four hydrants on new road had to be raised 1 to 11/2 feet, five were moved back 312 to 7 ft. Hydrant at corner of Sun- set Road was replaced with repaired Mathews hydrant, moved back to edge to sidewalk and gate valve put on hydrant pipe. Hydrant between Mr. Charles Mathew's and Mr. Doran's property on North Main Street was taken out. Hydrant on East Plain Street near property of Mr. Knox Brown was removed and replaced with repaired Mathews gate valve. Hydrant on West Plain Street near Mr. Chadwick's property was raised and gate valve installed. Hydrant on West Plain Street near property of Mr. Charles Carter was taken out and replaced with Ludlow Traffic hydrant and gate valve installed. Hydrant East Pond Street between property of Mr. Arthur Stevens and Mrs. Caroline Loker raised 1 ft .; hydrant Simp- son's Corner raised 1 ft. ; hydrant Connecticut Path near Indian Road raised 1 ft. and gate valve installed; hydrant on Plain Road near property of Mr. Phipps taken out and replaced with Ludlow Traffic; hydrant on Harrison Street taken out and replaced with Ludlow Traffic and gate valve installed. New valves were put in on hydrants near old Wayland Inn site and Sudbury Road. All hydrants replaced were defective. Of the hydrants taken out three were repaired for service, three were beyond repair. Hydrants were checked before cold weather.
Leaks:
Main Connecticut Path (wooden) 7 Main Sycamore Road 3
Gate valve packing leaks 5
Service leaks (Cochituate) 7
193
Wells:
The thirty driven wells at station grounds were tested and cleaned. Only one well was found with sand. Pipes from wells to main were inspected for leaks. Packing boxes on well gate valves were tightened. Pipes from the three wells nearest Baldwin's Pond settled and caused cracked goosenecks. The 4-inch main which these wells led into also settled. These wells are now shut off. The lower line of well pipes on swampy ground have given trouble since the start on account of settling. The well pipes on the upper line have given no trouble.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS 1933
During 1932 four hundred dollars ($400) was received to establish Perpetual Care Funds, for burial lots, as follows :
$100 received from the Harvard Trust Co., left under the will of Isaac C. Damon to establish the "Isaac C. Damon Fund" for perpetual care of the fami- ly lot.
$100 received from Nellie Rice Fiske to establish the "Nellie Rice Fiske Fund" for perpetual care of the family lot in Lake View Cemetery.
$100 received from Mrs. Elsie S. Bull to establish the "Elsie S. Bull Fund" for perpetual care of two lots in Lake View Cemetery.
$100 received from Mrs. Alice C. Maude to establish the "Alice C. Maude Fund" for perpetual care of a lot in Lake View Cemetery.
Although the first two above donations were included in the Warrant of the Annual Town Meeting and were accepted by the Town of Wayland at the Annual Town Meeting of March 9th, 1932, they were not included in the last report of the Cemetery Commissioners, as they were received after January 1st, 1932; hence the Cemetery Commissioners include them in this report.
Including the above donations there is a total of $17,900 invested under the direction of the Board of Commissioners of Trust Funds.
By the sale of burial lots the sum of $260 has been turned in to the Town Treasurer.
For the financial condition of the Cemetery Commission see report of the Town Accountant for the year 1932.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES M. BENT, Chairman, HOWARD W. PARMENTER, WILLIAM READ, Clerk.
