IN WATER BOARD,
SOMERVILLE, DEC. 28, 1872.
TO THE CITY COUNCIL :
The Somerville Mystic Water Board, in accordance with the provisions of the City Ordinances, respectfully submit their Annual Report.
The Board are much gratified to represent to you that the Works are in excellent condition, the number of water takers rapidly increasing, and the advantages of this important work to the general interests and welfare of the City fully established.
The pipe laid during the present year has been of the same description as that heretofore adopted, viz: wrought- iron and cement; and its reputation for strength and durability, confirmed by our own experience, and that of many other Cities. The fire hydrants, and stop-gates, are of the Boston Machine Co.'s pattern.
The total amount of distribution pipe laid in the City, is 34 miles, 3,810.9 feet ; number of fire hydrants, 184 ; number of stop-gates, 220; of which 6 miles, 2,295.3 feet of pipe, 38 fire hydrants, and 54 stop-gates, have been laid and set in 1872.
The water is now supplied to 1919 dwelling-houses, occupied by 2500 families, 49 stores, 18 manufactories, 213 stables, 3 brick-yards, the McLean Asylum, American Tube Works, Somerville Bleachery, 4 Churches, the City Hall, School houses and other Public buildings.
54
The water fixtures in use in the City are classified as follows, viz. :
2300 Sinks, 225 Taps, 383 Bath Tubs, 434 Wash Hand Basins, 409 Pan, 306 Self-acting, and 150 Hopper Water Closets, 80 Private Hydrants, 22 Urinals, 8 Fountains, and 287 Hand Hose.
There are laid in streets of the City bordering on the Cambridge line, about two miles of water pipe belonging to the City of Cambridge. That City supplies Fresh Pond water to the abuttors on those streets, and collects the water rents. Four fire hydrants, only, are connected with these pipes, and many complaints from citizens resident in that section, and from the Engineers of our Fire De- partment, are made on account of the insufficient head of water, and the small number of fire hydrants on the line, as being inadequate to a requisite supply in case of fire.
Under present circumstances, the Board do not deem it advisable to cause more hydrants to be attached to this line of pipe, and recommend its purchase, (provided an arrangement to that effect can be made with the City of Cambridge on satisfactory terms,) or the extension of the distribution pipes of Somerville through said streets.
On account of the rapidly increasing population of the westerly portion of the City, and the distance of that section from the present supply mains, the time is near at hand when a more direct supply from the Reservoir will be required. In view of this fact, a line of 10 inch pipe has been laid, commencing at the westerly end of High- land Avenue at Grove street, continuing through said Avenue to and across Elm street and through Holland street to Broadway, intended finally to be continued
55
through Broadway to a new Avenue now in process of construction, to the College Grounds on Walnut Hill. Through this new Avenue, a 12 inch main can be laid connecting directly with an independent 24 inch pipe al- ready laid by the Charlestown Authorities, and connected with the Reservoir.
This new main will not only give the additional supply required, but will materially contribute to a better circu- lation, and more even head of water throughout the City, and will prove of great advantage in case of accident to our Central street main.
The trenching and general detail of the work during the year, has been under the supervision of a member of this Board. The piping has been laid by the Jersey City Water & Gas Pipe Co., under the superintendence of Mr. Benjamin Almy, who has completed the work in his usual faithful and satisfactory manner.
The engineering has been under the direction of Mr. Charles Elliott, the City Engineer.
The value of the Works is as follows, viz. :
Value Dec. 30, 1871, as by report of Com- mittee, · · $202,398 43
Expended during the past year, . 43,288 33
Total value, .
$245,686 76
The tabular statement presented herewith, will show the location, sizes, and other detail of the pipes, gates, and hydrants, laid and set in the City, up to the pres- ent time.
