WAYLAND WATER COMMITTEE REPORT
Wayland, Mass., December 31, 1918.
At the annual Town Meeting February 9, 1916, it was voted that a committee of five be appointed by the Moderator to in- vestigate what is advisable to do relative to the State Board of Health recommendation in looking for an independent water supply and report at a future town meeting.
The following committee was appointed : Clarence S. Wil- liams, Paul T. Draper, Isaac Damon, John Connelly and George F. Poutasse.
The committee met and organized. Clarence S. Williams being elected chairman and George F. Poutasse, Secretary. After preliminary investigation by the committee and consulta- tion with State Engineer Goodnough and Engineer Van Val- kenburg it was decided to ask the Town for an appropriation of funds to carry on investigation for definite results. Accord- ingly at the annual town meeting February 2, 1912, it was voted to appropriate from the revenue of the water depart- ment a sum of money not exceeding $500 to be used by the committee on Water Supply for experimental purposes.
Owing to Mr. Poutasse enlisting in the U. S. Engineers overseas forces, he tendered his resignation to the Chairman of the Committee November 3, 1917.
The following report or communication from Engineer J. J. Van Valkenburg will give an idea of what has been accom- plished.
12-4
The Engineer's report was submitted to the State Depart- ment of Health with results as per their reply which is printed herewith and in view of the position the State Department of Health take your committee could go no further without authority from the Town and an appropriation.
These items of expenditure have already been recorded in the Water Department's report.

ENGINEERS' REPORT
Framingham, Mass., January 2, 1915.
Mr. Clarence S. Williams.
Chairman Water Committee, Cochituate, Mass.
Dear Sir:
Under date of May 3, 1917, a letter from you was received stating that the Wayland Water Committee had voted to have me look over the territory in Town for the purpose of locat- ing a place favorable for making the test for a water supply and to report in person at a meeting of the committee.
After making a thorough search covering several days I de- cided upon three locations which seemed to meet the require- ments-one on the easterly shore of Lake Cochituate, northerly of the Metropolitan Gate House, one on the southeast shore of Dudley Pond and one in the lowland in the vicinity of the so-called Rice Spring.
The Dudley Pond location appeared to me to be the best one of the three. The pond water is of fair quality, the shore is clean and gravely and the distance from West Plain Street is not far. However, before reporting to your Committee my favorable opinion of this locality, by my invitation the En- gineers of the State Department of Health also a representa- tive of the B. F. Smith & Co., well drivers visited the place and verbally expressed a favorable opinion of the same.
Well driving began July 30th and continued for six days.
126
Three 21/2-inch wells were located from 14 to 60 feet from the pond and were driven from 14 to 35 feet below the elevation driven ranged from fine gravel at the top to fine sand at the bottom. The capacities of the wells were from 35 to 50 gallons per minute. It was observed, however, when they were pumped at the most rapid rate that a considerable amount of fine sand was discharged. Undoubtedly this sand would to a considerable extent cease to flow after a long time of steady pumping. Samples of water from these wells and from the pond were collected and analyzed by the State Department of Health. If the report of the said Department is favorable to the adoption of this location I would recommend that instead of a system of driven wells a large well be dug with a capacity somewhat greater than the present daily consumption of water in the Town. This consumption from August 9th to Septem- ber 23rd, 1916, was at an average rate of 94,400 gallons per day.
