Maintenance and Operation.


The fixtures and appurtenances connected with the dis- tribution system, hydrants, valves, meters, etc., have had their usual inspection, and repairs and changes have been made where it has been found necessary. No serious breaks or leaks have occurred during the year, and the system is believed to be in excellent condition. Eleven joint leaks on main pipes and 132 service leaks have been discovered and repaired during the year, and 102 service pipes have been replaced. One hun- dred and thirty-three meters were found not operating, and were removed and repaired, the causes of their defective con- dition being classed as follows: Broken disks, twenty-five; de- fective registers, sixteen ; defective gear trains, ten; worn-out gear trains, eleven; freezing, sixteen; hot water, four; dirt, sediment, and similar obstructions, nineteen ; miscellaneous de- fects in gears, spindles, screws, etc., inside the meters, sixteen ; noisy meters, sixteen.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


The shop, stable, and yard of the department have been kept up to their usual standard, with the possible exception of the teaming equipment. The use of motor carriages for some of the branches of department work has been tried out during the past three years, and while the vehicles used have not been of such a type as to give the best possible results, the experi- ence with them has fully demonstrated the value and economy of such motive power, and it is hoped that, for the good of the service, a portion of the horse equipment may soon be sup- planted or strengthened by the purchase of two motor vehicles. The department shop is well fitted with machinery, tools, and skilled labor, so that the ordinary repairs of such vehicles could be made in our own plant at minimum expense, and I am con- vinced from accumulated experience that the upkeep of a motor equipment would be considerably less per year than that of horse equipment, and would be of much greater efficiency in carrying on certain parts of the department work, especially "hurry-up" jobs, emergency work, and other light service. The increasing use of water meters requires a large amount of additional running about the city for installation, inspection, and light repairs, and some provision must at once be made for the men in charge of this work to get around speedily, either by the purchase of new horses and light wagons, or by motor vehicles. Other cities are adopting the latter mode of trans- portation, and it is hoped by your commissioner that their pro- gressive methods may soon be approved for use, to the needed extent, in our own team department.

Meterage.


In accordance with the provisions of the Water Act passed by the legislature of 1907, 838 meters were installed, the num- ber of services now equipped being about forty-three per cent. of the total in use. About fifty-one per cent. of the total re- ceipts from sale of water was from unmetered premises, and forty-nine per cent. from those that were metered.


The number of applications for meters was 322, as against 611 in the previous year, and 315 were set on general installa- tion where but 144 were set during 1908. The installation on new services increased from 147 in 1908 to 201 during the past year. A large number of the meters were set in the district bounded by Somerville avenue, Washington street, and Joy street, and a number of streets in other parts of the city which were partially metered were filled in to completion.


A new method of billing metered water accounts has been devised and put into operation during the past year, and has worked very satisfactorily. The city has been divided into three districts : District 1, East Somerville, comprising the ter- ritory easterly of a line through Walnut, Bow, Hawkins, and Washington streets ; District 2, Central Somerville, the terri- tory between the above-described line and a line passing through Cedar and Mossland streets; and District 3, West Somerville, all the territory westerly from the last-described line. Meters in District 1 are read in March, June, September, and December ; in District 2 in January, April, July, and Octo- ber; and in District 3 in February, May, August, and Novem- ber; and bills are rendered on the first day of the month fol- lowing that in which they were read. By this method of read- ing and billing, an equilibrium of work is established through- out the year in the meter accounting department, and the city is saved a considerable expense in meter reading and clerical employment.

WATER DEPARTMENT.

The water furnished by the Metropolitan water works has in general been of a good quality, but during the early part of the year much complaint was received on account of a disagree- able taste and odor. The trouble was most noticeable in the low-service districts of the city, the section supplied by the high-service mains from Spot Pond reservoir being practically exempt. The disturbance was caused by disagreeable, but harmless, microscopic organisms in the water, which disap- peared after a few weeks.


The water consumption dropped from an average of eighty-nine in 1908 to eighty-four gallons per capita daily for the past year, and there was a general reduction noted in the consumption throughout the entire district, due in large part undoubtedly to the progressive metering carried on by the cities and towns in the district.


The accompanying tables cover further details of the year's work, and are made a part of this report.


Respectfully submitted, FRANK E. MERRILL, Water Commissioner.
