Report of the Board of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Attleborough:
In presenting to you the twenty-first annual report of the Water Department, we invite your attention to the policy outlined at the beginning of the year, which was this:
1. To reduce the running expenses of the De- partment.
2. To reduce the old debt.
3. To increase the receipts.
4. To eliminate unprofitable extensions.
5. To replace and repair the weakest parts of the plant.
6. To improve the general conditions of fire service.
7. To enlarge and improve our pumping equip- ment.
8. To give an accurate systematic, and com- plete report of the year's expenditures, and work.
In the execution of our plans, we have this to say :
First: An average amount of construction work has been done, all parts of the plant have been thoroughly cared for, much improvement has been made in the condition of services and meters; and our total expenses for running the Department, including all the construction except $1,200 paid on the alteration at the Pumping Station, has been kept
84
ANNUAL REPORT
within $30,000. This is the lowest amount the De- partment has run on since 1899, and at that time the Town was less than one-half the size it is now.
In the miles of main pipe, number of services, water pumped, etc., the Department is 22 percent larger than it averaged for the ten years from 1902 to 1912, yet the average expenses for those years, excluding all large additions, was $44,000. With the increased size of the plant and the higher price of labor and material considered, to keep within $30,000 shows, we think, the most economical man- agement the Department has known for many years.
Second: To reduce the old debt until the re- ceipts are sufficient to take care of it and run the Department, is still our strong purpose. One year ago we stated that a debt which requires an annual payment of $48,000 is too large for a Department whose water receipts are $51,000.
Two years ago the net debt was $571,646; now it is $521,456, a decrease of $50,000; and we hope the next two years will show a like decrease.
Third: Our efforts to increase the receipts of the Department have been productive of good re- sults. With the assistance of the Finance Commit- tee and the Board of Selectmen, the Department has this year received compensation for water fur- nished to the Town.
Fourth: The extension of main lines is a diffi- cult matter to deal with. The 5% guarantee which is now required does not pay more than one-half the cost of maintaining the line, it being understood that, under the present regulations, water is fur- nished free to an amount equal to the guarantee; and for this reason we do not recommend long ex- tensions if they are wholly for the accommodation of a few families. If dead ends can be connected
85
ANNUAL REPORT
by an extension, thus giving better water and better fire protection, it alters the case materially.
Fifth: To replace or repair the weakest parts of the plant, and to do a certain portion of the work each year is, we think, the most systematic way of keeping our plant up to the requirements of the town. This year we have replaced small mains where they were the most needed. We found a four- inch main on Dunham street in making a connection for the new Makepeace factory, and have replaced that with a six-inch pipe.
Sixth: The conditions of fire service have been greatly improved in several parts of the Town by replacing the small mains, by connecting the ends of lines, by setting additional hydrants where the distance from one to another seemed too great, and by replacing several old hydrants. This work has been done to the entire satisfaction of the Fire Chief and Insurance Inspectors, with whom we have had several conferences.
Seventh: Our Pumping Station extensions and the work of installing the new pump, which will give us a completely up-to-date outfit when the work is finished are being pushed as rapidly as possible.
With the standpipe in good condition, no breaks on the force main, and no fires in town, our present equipment would suffice for some time; but we felt it was not wise to delay the matter until something serious happened. The Barr pump would be all right if all conditions conformed to its own possibilities; but there always comes a day of reckoning, and we felt that to delay the matter of improvements at the station was neglecting the possible necessities of the Town. We have acted according to our best judgment, and we take pleasure now in inviting the most careful inspection of the pump we are in-
86
ANNUAL REPORT
stalling and the additions we are making at the Station.
Eighth: The last article in our policy, "To give an accurate. systematic, and complete report of the year's receipts, expenditures, and work." is, we think, of vital importance. We believe it is justly due the citizens of the Town to know where their money is going and what kind of work is being done. We have an accurate record of each day's work of each man. It did not satisfy us to see a man's name on the time sheet, but we have it on a daily labor sheet, which shows just what he has done for his day's pay. These labor sheets alone have furnished us the data by means of which we have been able to make some wide cuts in expenses. It is from the summary of these sheets that the labor items for the report are made up: therefore. it is not guess-work when we tell you the cost of flushing hydrants, repairing fountains and stand- pipes, changing meters. repairing leaks, and all other divisions of work.
In handing you this report, we respectfully ask that you make some comparisons with other towns of this size and also with former years in this town, and judge for yourself whether or not our efforts to run the Department on an economical business basis have been successful.
In outlining the work for the coming year, we wish, first of all. to repair the standpipe. This will be an extensive job, necessitating pumping direct to the main while the work is being done. We re- gret such an outlay, but the structure has reached that stage of imperfection when it must be repaired or discarded. As to the cost of it, we can only make an estimate. $6,000 is about the average of the in- formal bids we have received for the work, and we hope to get it thoroughly done for that amount.
87
ANNUAL REPORT
This is the only piece of work we have in view for which we must ask an appropriation. It is' an absolute necessity.
There are some other things which appear to us to be needed before we can boast of a perfect plant. Another trunk line coming from the Station would greatly increase the efficiency of fire service. At the present time, we are dependent almost wholly upon the County Street lines. We are not anxious to spend the Town's money, and we hope that our record of the past year indicates that we want to re- turn to the Town dollar for dollar; but we do believe that another trunk line should be laid to the central part of the Town to make doubly sure a good fire supply, and we strongly endorse any measure taken by the Town's people to make this valuable addition to the Plant.
One other thing appears to us to be worthy of attention. We have now one small cottage at the station for the engineer; and we recommend for future consideration, another cottage on our station land for the residence of the fireman. The expense would be small, and the lesser salary of the fireman, because of furnishing rent, would largely balance the cost of the cottage. Our object in recommending this is to have the fireman, as well as the engineer, within a minute's walk of the station instead of two miles away. A delay of fifteen minutes in starting the pumps might mean a great deal to the Town in the case of a heavy fire at night; but with the en- gineer and fireman both located on the station grounds, we should expect immediate service from them in response to a fire alarm.
These two things-the trunk line and the cot- tage, are matters for the citizens of the Town to decide. We place them before you for considera- tion; we endeavor to explain the need; we will

economize in every possible way to help meet the demand for funds; and then we trust that the prop- erty owners of the Town will give them thoughtful attention.
In reviewing the past year, we wish to express our thanks for the co-operation of the other Town Departments; and especially do we approve of the combining of Departments to lessen expenses. Per- fect harmony has existed between the Water and Sewer Departments, and at least $1,500 has been saved by their uniting. From our experience this year, we heartily recommend such a measure as a profitable one for the Town.
In conclusion let us say that all things are work- ing together for good in the Water Department. Now that we know it can be run for $30,000 a year, instead of $45,000 or $50,000, we feel safe in saying that in due time the Department will be able to meet its expenses with no appropriation at all from the Town. In five years' time we see absolutely no reason why the Department cannot turn back to the Town a substantial amount from its receipts, or lower the water rates, which would be equally bene- ficial.
We shall be alert to save, not to spend, during the coming year; and this principle, combined with our determination to steadily improve our sys- tem, we trust will be acceptable to the citizens of Attleborough.

Respectfully submitted,
ALONZO N. BROWNELL, FRANK MOSSBERG, HARRY P. KENT, Board of Water Commissioners.
