REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Attleboro :-
At this time when the Water Department passes from a Board of Water Commissioners to City management, it seems fitting to give a brief review of its history.
In 1873 an act was passed by the Legislature incorporating the Attleboro Water Supply Dis- trict, a territory covering a circular area one mile in diameter, having its central point in the pas- senger depot of the Boston and Providence Rail- road. This act was accepted in July of that year, and a Prudential Committee of three was elected by the voters of the District to have supervision of the work of laying pipe, etc.
With no plans, stock, implements, or money to start with, this Committee in the space of eight months caused to be built a pump house, set up two pumps, laid 9000 feet of pipe, set 30 hydrants, and connected 79 houses. The follow- ing year the receipts from the supply were $789.98 Thus started what is now considered an $800,000 plant with yearly receipts, including hydrant rental, of over $70,000.
During the twenty years of the existence of the Water Supply District under the Prudential Committee, a steady and practical growth was
96
ANNUAL REPORT
maintained. In 1893 when it was taken over as a municipal department of the Town, it had about 20 miles of main pipe, 135 hydrants, 425 metered connections, the iron standpipe on King Street, the Blake and Deane pumps, (both of which are now in working condition) a debt of $155,000, and yearly receipts of about $10,000.
Since 1893, under a Board of Water Commis- sioners, the three things which constitute the foundation of every business, namely: the plant, the debt, and the receipts, have reached their present proportions, statistics of which will be found elsewhere in this report.
The first Board of Water Commissioners was confronted by the same problems that this, the last Board has been, and probably under the City management the same difficulties will arise: first, to keep the present equipment in thorough repair and working condition; second, to make all the additions consistent with the growth of the City; and third, to finance the Department in such a way that the receipts will increase faster propor- tionately than the indebtedness, or, in other words, to reduce the debt until the receipts are sufficient to run the Department and take care of the interest and maturing bonds.
Along these three lines we have labored dili- gently to do the practical and economical thing. The portion of the system which was most in- efficient was the Standpipe. This has been thor- oughly repaired on the inside, and the brick work on the outside has been carried to a height of 75 feet. The remainder of the work has been con- tracted for to be done as early in the spring as the weather will permit.
97
ANNUAL REPORT
The addition which we deemed most impor- tant was enlarging the station and installing another pump. This has been done, and the City need feel no anxiety now about fire protec- tion, for our new 4,000,000-gallon Snow Pump will deliver to the mains all that they can possibly take care of. At this point let us repeat our recommendation of a year ago,-that we need another large trunk main from the station to the central part of the City, and hope it will be the next addition to the plant. We cannot afford to delay the matter much longer.
In regard to finances, our main ambition has been to place the Department on a self-support- ing basis. Three years ago we had an appropria- tion of $14,000 and bonds (issued the previous year to complete the reservoir) to the amount of $55,000; two years ago we had an appropriation of $23,000; one year ago, an appropriation of $25,000 and hydrant rental of $13,860; and this year hydrant rental of $14,370 and appropriations of $14,400, making a total of $160,130 for the four years. This seems a large amount in addi- tion to the receipts from water; but in these four years we have paid $42,500 in serial bonds; $40,000 to the sinking fund; and $99,410 in in- terest; a total of $181,910. Therefore, from the net receipts from the supply of water for four years, we have borne the entire expenses of the Department and contributed $21,780 toward the debt which has, during this time, decreased over $100,000.
In conclusion, let us say that in taking our eave of the office of Water Commissioner, and
98

turning over to City management the Depart- ment in which we have taken great interest, we would ask no better tribute to our service than that the same financial policy we have followed be continued.
