Early in April work was begun to complete the transfer to our own mains of the house services heretofore supplied with water by the city of Cambridge.
Two hundred and forty-one were thus transferred, bringing to our own treasury the water revenue accruing therefrom, amounting to $3,784 yearly. Cambridge now furnishes water to fifteen houses in this city, and Somerville supplies water to sixteen houses in Cambridge; this is on account of the prox- imity of these houses to the mains of the other city.
STREET MAINS.
During the year the department has laid 7,573 feet of pipe on construction account and 14,409 feet in renewals of street mains, replacing the weakest of the cement-lined pipes. The total length of our distribution mains is now 77 miles 2,886 feet, of which 12 miles 1,055 feet is cement-lined pipe. The number of bursts in the older pipe is decreasing yearly, owing to the substitution of iron mains, there having been but ten bursts during the past year, none of which caused serious damage to property ; ten joint leaks have been discovered and repaired; one crack in a 20-inch main appeared, although the pipe has been in service for five years.
504
ANNUAL REPORTS.
I present herewith a list of the weakest water mains now in the city, all of which should, in my opinion, be replaced with cast- iron pipe during the coming season: Alston street, 575 feet ; Ashland street, 525 feet; Belmont street, 1,200 feet; Broadway, from Magoun square to Willow bridge, 1,800 feet; Broadway, from Packard avenue to Alewife brook, 2,700 feet; Curtis street, 2,100 feet; Dane avenue, 600 feet ; Elmwood street, 400 feet ; George street, 325 feet ; Holland street, 2,250 feet; Howe street, 450 feet ; Jaques street, 500 feet ; Lincoln avenue, 525 feet ; Line street, 1,200 feet ; Main street, 700 feet ; Mt. Vernon street, 1,150 feet ; Park street, 1,275 feet ; Professors' row, 725 feet ; Shawmut place, 225 feet ; Shawmut street, 600 feet ; Smith avenue, 225 feet ; Temple street, 1,350 feet ; Villa avenue, 200 feet ; Vine street, 675 feet ; Walnut street, 500 feet ; Winslow avenue, 400 feet; Chester. avenue, "00 feet ; Cross street, 250 feet ; a total of 24,125 feet.
Unless some of our extensive undeveloped tracts of land are ·opened up for residential purposes, the demand for extension of our distribution system for house service will probably not be as large as in previous years ; advantage should be taken of this lull, however, and work should be assiduously continued on construc- tion account in connecting up as many as possible of the numerous dead ends now existing in our system, and particularly in the high service district. The residents along many of our important and densely-settled thoroughfares are now compelled to receive their domestic water supply from these dead ends, and I earnestly rec- ommend that additional mains be laid in the following streets for the purpose of perfecting the circulating system of our high water service: Medford street, from Norwood avenue to Adams street, 1,000 feet ; Medford street, from Tennyson street to Dartmouth street, 950 feet ; Central street, from Highland avenue to Summer street, 975 feet ; Waldo street, 100 feet ; Munroe street, 100 feet ; Temple street, 450 feet; Bow street, from Summer street to Wal- nut street, 350 feet ; Elm street, from Linden avenue to Belmont street, 1,450 feet ; Beech street, 500 feet ; Cedar street, from High- land avenue to Hudson street, 225 feet ; Cross street, from Chester avenue to Medford street, 300 feet; a total of 6,400 feet. This

extension of the pipes will accomplish the removal of about three- fourths of the present dead ends, and vastly benefit those water- takers who live near and receive their water supply from them.
HYDRANTS-GATES, ETC.
Fifty-eight new hydrants have been set during the year on the line of new water mains and in locations designated by the chief .of the Fire Department; there are now in the city 790 public hydrants, and forty owned by private interests ; a total of 830. Each of the city hydrants has been carefully inspected and its water pressure recorded ; wastes have been cleaned out, broken jackets repaired, gaskets replaced, and all have been painted and are now in excellent condition.
It has been found necessary to remove fourteen defective hydrants, one broken by team, and six for other reasons, and new ones have been set in their place.
Forty-eight new gates have been set in the lines of the water mains laid during the year and as section gates on old mains, mak- ing a total in the city of 971; ninety-two decayed wooden boxes have been replaced with the iron pattern.
Three blow-offs have been constructed ; two water posts have been set for the benefit of the street watering department. Neces- sary repairs have been made on the water post connections, new valves and hose attached, and all the posts have been painted.
SERVICES.
Three hundred and twenty-one new service connections have been made during the year, this number being exclusive of those transferred to our mains from the Cambridge system. This rep- resents a decrease of sixty-one from the number laid during the previous year, but indicates, nevertheless, great building activity in the face of the continued business depression. The total num- ber of service pipes laid to December 31, 1897, is 9,601, and the total length of pipe used in making service connections is 60 miles 1,165 feet.
506
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The service department has been kept busy in the mainte- nance of this division of the water works, a large number of ser- vice leaks having occurred, especially during the latter part of the year ; in one day six leaks were reported and repaired, and the cause appeared to be the same in each case, viz., breaking of the· pipe at the waste gate in the sidewalk. A careful examination. of the broken parts showed the ends of the pipes entering the cocks. to have been entirely eaten off by corrosion. The cause and man- ner of these breaks indicates the probability of a constantly-in- creasing frequency of this trouble on those services made up of plain iron pipe, cement-lined.
A considerable quantity of iron pipe with a lead lining has. lately been used for service connections, its construction enabling the lining of lead to be sufficiently drawn out and beaded over the iron to form a perfect protection from the oxidizing action of the- water, thereby effectually preventing the trouble above referred to, as well as the no less infrequent and annoying stoppage of water caused by the accumulation of rust and sediment in the pipe.
HIGH SERVICE.
But few changes have been made in the high service system: during the year, and the district covered is practically the same as. heretofore. The boilers and pump have performed their usual. good service ; 795,045 pounds of coal have been consumed ; the. pump has run 2,710 hours, and has raised 242,016,000 gallons of. water. The table showing the average monthly pumpage for the years 1890 to 1897, inclusive, indicates clearly the annually in- creasing demands made upon our high service plant, and is a fair criterion of the growth in population in the section of the city covered by this system.
As none of the water furnished to this city by the city of Bos- ton passes through meters, it is practically impossible to ascertain. our water consumption per capita. Having a record of the water pumped, we can, however, compute the consumption in the high

service district, and thereby approximate the consumption for the entire city. For the purpose of learning definitely what the daily average is, I have caused to be made a careful canvass of the num- ber of inhabitants using water from the high service mains, and have arrived at the results expressed below :-
Total gallons of water pumped in high service in 1897 242,016,000
Total number of inhabitants using water from high service in 1897 8,746
Total consumption in gallons of high service water per inhabitant in 1897 . 27,672
Average daily consumption per capita on high service 76
Average daily consumption throughout the city (approximate), based on population of 56,000
4,256,000
As the portion of the city covered by the high service is almost entirely a residential district, the figures above given for the city consumption must be taken to represent the quantity used for domestic purposes only ; the approximate consumption of metered water is 700,000 gallons daily additional, increasing the total consumption to about eighty-eight gallons per capita.
In December the standpipe was cut out of the system for about ten days, the pressure being maintained by direct pumping ; during this time the inside of the standpipe was thoroughly cleaned and scraped, and treated to a good coat of asphaltum paint. I would recommend that the exterior be again painted early in the coming season.
The grounds about the standpipe have been regraded, the concrete walks removed and winding gravel walks constructed, flower beds have been maintained through the summer, and the small area has been generally improved; this has been prelimi- nary to converting the grounds into a park, diminutive in size, but a distinct addition to the city's breathing places, and it is intended, as soon as the season opens, to remove the fences, set out shrub- bery, and complete the work on the lines laid out.
508
ANNUAL REPORTS.
METERS.
Anticipating the approaching control of the metered system of the water works, heretofore under the charge of the city of Bos- ton, provision has been made at the pumping station for making all necessary repairs and tests. A testing apparatus has been set up which, it is believed, will compare favorably, for simplicity and effi- ciency, with the best in use in other cities. Both the high and low pressures are at command, and meters ranging in size from five- eighths of an inch to six inches can be tested on full streams. By an arrangement of the connections, meters can be run on durability tests for an indefinite length of time with no waste of water. A 5,000-pound Howe scale, with special percentage beam, and a steel tank of nearly 500 gallons capacity, are used to measure the water passed through the meters.
The entire plant has been laid out with an eye to a possible future establishment of a meter basis of selling water, and is on a scale which will answer such requirements for many years.
BUILDINGS.
The pumping station has been rewired and placed on the in- candescent electric lighting circuit ; new lamps have been added where needed, and a general rearrangement of the lighting service has been made.
The basement of the building, originally poorly lighted and used for a storeroom, has been thoroughly overhauled and con- verted into a workshop for the meter department of the water works. Four 18-inch windows have been replaced by others four feet in depth, affording an abundance of daylight; the walls have been whitened, the floor resurfaced, and the entire apartment adapted to the work to be performed.
The department has developed on its grounds at the high ser- vice station a very convenient pipe and supply yard; a railroad siding enables us to unload direct from the cars, and we can thus
509

purchase in car lots at bottom prices. Here are kept all the pipe, special castings, pig lead, hydrants, and valves used in the works. It is manifest that in the necessary communication between our stable and supply yard, shop and meter department, there is, under the existing arrangement, a large loss of time and energy. Our present shop and stable accommodations are not creditable to the department, and are inadequate to its needs. I would, therefore, urge the early concentration of these widely-separated depart- ments of the works at our pumping station grounds, and the abandonment, for water works purposes, of the old buildings on Prospect street.
A suitable building should be constructed near the pipe yard for the storage of our wagons, and facilities for their proper care should be established therein. A portion of the building should be arranged for the storage of tools and small supplies, and for shop use, until such time as the pumping station may become fully available for this purpose. Aside from the matter of convenience, a considerable item of expense can be saved by thus concentrating our work at one point.
The following tables exhibit the year's street work of the water department; locations of hydrants connected with the works, cost of maintenance and repairs of the several divisions of the work, pumping statistics, etc.
Permit me to express my appreciation of the cordial co-opera- tion which you have extended to me in the performance of my duties, and to acknowledge, also, the faithful and earnest efforts of my office assistants and of the laborers under my charge in all matters pertaining to the interests and efficiency of the depart- ment.
