Twenty-Ninth Annual Report OF THE
Water Commissioners
OF THE
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
For the Year Ending December 31, 1914
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Randolph:
The twenty-ninth annual report of the Water Com- missioners for the year ending December 31, 1914, is here- with submitted.
It is with no little disappointment that your Commis- sioners are unable to report to you at this time the com- pletion of the contract for our new pump, which we have not yet accepted owing to a slight pound in the water-end.
In all other respects the pump is apparently in accord- ance with the terms of contract, and as soon as the builders have eliminated the trouble referred to the terms of the contract will be completed.
During the past year the pump has been used con- siderably, and has demonstrated that it is a fuel saver; the company are at the expense of much time and money trying hard to overcome the trouble, and as they seem to be making headway, we trust that the pump will be ready for acceptance at an early date.
During the past summer, while the water in the pond was very low, we had the grass, reeds and vegetable matter in the upper part of the pond cut, and removed to the shore when it was burned in connection with the other waste that had collected.
Our reports from the State Board of Health show that our water is retaining its purity, and is still one of the best in the State.

The property will in all cases be held responsible for the water rates.
2. All persons taking water must keep their water pipes and fixtures in good repair and protected from the frost at their own expense. They will be held liable for all damages resulting from their failure to do so. They shall prevent all unnecessary waste, and water shall not be left running to prevent freezing. The Water Commissioners or their agent may, from time to time, ascertain the quantity of water used, the manner of its use, and whether there is any unnecessary waste. They and their agents shall have free access to the premises supplied, to examine the apparatus, and if any fix- tures are found not to be in good order, they shall direct them repaired, and if not repaired within two days the water shall be shut off and not let on again until such repairs are made, and the sum of two dollars paid for shutting off and turning on the water.
3. The occupant of any premises, when unnecessary waste of water occurs, shall be liable to a fine of two dollars for the first offence, and four dollars for the second offence during
