ANNUAL REPORTS.
WATER WORKS.
Lines and grades for laying water pipes have been given, and all mains and services have been located and recorded.
The high-service system still remains practically in the same condi- tion as in 1890. The extensions recommended in the report of the special committee of the City Council have not been made. The twelve- inch main on Highland avenue and the ten-inch main on Summer street should be laid this year, as both these lines are wrought-iron, cement-lined pipe, and cannot be depended upon for excessive service if a large supply of water should be demanded for fire pur- poses.
In the report of the city engineer for the year 1891 it was recommended that a second tank was needed on Winter Hill, and a reserve boiler at the pumping station. No action has been taken on either of these recommendations. The necessity of making these additions to the high-service system is more urgent than last year.
Should it be necessary at any time to stop pumping on account of some accident to pump or boiler, or some defect in the force main, the capacity of the tank would be sufficient for only a limited time, and.in such an emergency it would be necessary to use the low- service pressure.
It would be very hazardous to adopt this pressure, for the large number of houses now built on the high lands would be without a water supply, except possibly during a few hours at night, and in case of fire no water could be obtained.
It would not be advisable at any time to pump directly into the mains because of the large proportion of cement-lined pipe in use.
It will soon be a matter of economy to erect a second tank to avoid the more costly expedient of running the high-service engine on a continuous service in order to supply the increased consumption due to the great increase in population. A continuous service would increase the liability to accident in the pumping plant, and add to the pumping station's expenses for fuel and salaries.
Land available for the location of a tank on Winter Hill will
405
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
soon be occupied, and can then only be obtained at a much larger cost than now.
Immediate action should be taken by the City Council in the matter of the purchase of land.
A second boiler is needed at the pumping station for use in emergencies such as might occur if the old boiler should need repairs. It is also needed as a reserve when it may be necessary to clean or inspect the old boiler.
The twelve-inch low-service main laid in Somerville avenue from East Cambridge line northwesterly to Central street is part of the system recommended in 1891. It is unfortunate that a second twelve-inch main connected with the high-service supply was not laid at the same time. It will be needed within a few years, and it would have been a more economical method to have laid both mains at the same time. It would not then have been necessary to disturb the granite pavement laid during the past year.
The twenty-inch main recommended and laid in 1891 in Wash- ington street, from Tufts street to Medford street, was not extended in 1892. It should be laid through Tufts and Cross streets, and be connected with the thirty-inch supply main before any further exten- sions are made in a northwesterly direction.
A twelve-inch main was laid in Somerville avenue from the East Cambridge line to Central street, except that a portion of the main between Medford and Mansfield streets is sixteen inches in diameter. A fourteen-inch main was laid across Somerville avenue at Medford street to connect with the fourteen-inch main in Medford street laid in 1891. This twelve-inch main was laid to replace an eight-inch main cement-lined, wrought-iron pipe.
The eight-inch cement-lined pipe on Dane street was relaid with twelve-inch iron, from Somerville avenue to Washington street.
The eight-inch cement-lined on Medford street was relaid with twelve-inch iron, from Somerville avenue to Highland avenue.
The six-inch cement-lined on Prospect street was replaced with sixteen-inch iron, from Washington street to Newton street.
The four-inch cement-lined on Summer street was relaid with ten- inch iron, from Bow street to School street.
The eight-inch cement-lined on Washington street was relaid with twelve-inch iron, from Myrtle street to the Boston line; and from Dane street to Beacon street was relaid with ten-inch.
406
ANNUAL REPORTS.
These are the more important mains relaid during the year. A large amount of eight and six inch pipe was relaid, which is given in full in the report of the superintendent of the water works.
The extensions have been made with six and eight inch pipes. The locations of these extensions are given in full in the superin- tendent's report.
