ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Attleborough :
The Water Commissioners herewith submit their seventeenth annual report for the year ending Decem- ber 31. 1909. Appended will be found the report of the · Superintendent and Registrar, in which a detailed state- ment of statistics pertaining to the work is presented.
The matter of greatest interest to be called to the notice of the town is the necessity of further develop- ment of the source of supply so as to insure an ample quantity of water in such extreme seasons as have been proved possible to occur by recent experience. In the appended report of our engineer will be seen how extra- ordinary were the conditions of the past two years just passed compared with any of the preceding thirty-three years of which records are obtainable. It may happen that not for years to come will similar conditions be re- peated, but it is apparent that having once occurred the town must immediately take steps to provide sufficient water in case of repetition.
In the late summer months of the past year it was only possible to furnish the town with the necessary supply by utilizing the water of Orr's Pond, purifying this water by passage through the percolating area con- structed in 1907-1908. The result was in every way sat- isfactory, the quality of the supply, as shown by the analysis of the State Board of Health, holding up to the high standard of purification of the normal ground water. The low lift pumps and the percolating area were in service for about three months and more than forty mil- lion (40,000,000) gallons of water were drawn from Orr's Pond and added to the supply. This draft reduced the level of the pond almost to the possible limit and in November it appeared necessary to provide some means of obtaining additional water should the drought con-

tinue. For such an emergency supply the preliminary requirements were a safe quality, a small necessary out- lay and the opportunity of quickly bringing it into service.
Looking over the possibilities an effort was made to obtain water from Pawtucket, but it was found that the unusual dryness had also here evidenced a possible shortage and no assistance could be looked for in this direction. It then became evident, since a ground water supply could not be developed in the time available, that some surface water would have to be used and the best opportunity seemed to be afforded by the Bungay River at Holden street. By a short extension of the pipe line from Hope street and a pump installed near the river this water could be forced into the pipe system. An analysis showed the quality to be satisfactory and, to our surprise, the color was but little higher than in the regular ground water supply. As a further precaution, however, it was intended, should this supply be used, to treat it with chloride of lime, a method by which all germ contamination and danger from disease can quickly and without the slightest detrimental effect on the water, be removed.
This treatment is being used as a permanent means of improving the sanitary quality of water in many places, notably at Boontown, N. J., where a daily supply of forty million (40,000,000) gallons for Jersey City is thus purified. Believing a personal examination of this plant advisable we visited Boontown and became con- vinced that the method there in use would guarantee the sanitary safety of the Bungay supply should its use become necessary. A small second-hand triplex pump was purchased, at a cost of five hundred and fifty dollars ($550.00), and such other appartus and material as would be required were gotten ready for use, but on November twenty-first to twenty-third a rain fall of more
