REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD.
Somerville, January 1, 1897.
To the Somerville Mystic Water Board :-
Gentlemen,-The work of this department during the past year has been largely in the direction of replacing the old cement-lined mains with iron pipe, nearly five miles having been thus renewed. The works have been extended by laying nearly four miles of iron pipe, about one half of which is in the district heretofore supplied by the city of Cambridge.
453 service connections have been made; there has been a net increase of 72 in the number of hydrants and 75 in the num- ber of gates. Seven new water-posts have been set and one drinking-fountain has been connected with the main in Teele square.
The total length of distribution mains now in the city is 76 miles 593 feet, of which 14 miles, 4,970 feet is cement-lined pipe.
The high-service system is in excellent condition; the stand- pipe has been recaulked and given a coat of paint.
The number of bursts on street mains on the low service has largely decreased as the result of replacing the weakened cement pipe with iron. There are many streets which need renewing at an early date.
