ANNUAL REPORT


WATER DEPARTMENT.


For the first time the receipts of the department for the year have exceeded the expenses. These expenses include construction, maintenance, amount paid into sinking fund, interest charges, and serial bonds. However, this is only temporary, as it will be neces- sary in the immediate future to expend a considerable sum of money to increase the ground water supply at the Pumping Station. Our surface water supply is sufficient for some years to come, but we are fast reaching the daily consumption which our ground water supply was designed to meet. It will also be necessary, in the near future, to relay some of our smaller pipes and lay new main line in order that the domestic and fire supply will be adequate to take care of the growth of the city.


PUMPING STATION.


The Pumping Station pumps, boilers, and grounds are in good condition and only minor repairs have been necessary to keep the Station and equipment in a high state of efficiency. About eight acres of reforestration have been done this year. Seven thousand (7,000) four year old White Pine transplants, and one thousand (1,000) four year old Norway Spruce transplants have been set out. This work we hope to continue each year.


Stand Pipe.


The repairs on the stand pipe, which were completed last year, were evidently well executed, as there are no evidences of any leaks up to the present time.


Work Shop.


The first floor of the work shop has been remodelled in order to make room for the two automobiles which were purchased for the Police Department this year. The expense for the work was appor- tioned between the Water and Police Departments.


A new heater has also been installed in the work shop to re- place the old one, and a new automobile purchased for the Meter Department.


RESERVOIR.


There has been no occasion for making any repair at the reser- voir this year.


The first water drawn from the reservoir this year was on August 21, and finally closed November 22. Between these dates the gates


120


ANNUAL REPORT


were opened or closed according as there was or was not water flow- ing from the Seven Mile River onto the filter beds. Total number of days water was drawn from reservoir, 72.


A total of 6,000,000 gallons was also pumped from Orr's Pond onto the filter beds.


MAIN LINE.


It will be noticed from the following table that all main lines laid this year have been 6-inch pipe. The domestic supply which can be obtained from a 2-inch, or even smaller pipe, is the first con- sideration; but fire protection is essential, and that cannot be given with less than a 6-inch pipe. From our work this year it is evident that much of the small pipe, in the central part of the city especially, will very soon have to be replaced by larger pipe.


SERVICES AND METERS.


On account of a lesser amount of building than in former years, the expense of services and meters has been somewhat reduced; but a great deal of labor has been expended in putting into perfect con- dition many services, service gates, waste valves, and meters that were found defective.


HYDRANTS AND GATES.


Special attention, and an unusual amount of it, has been given to hydrants and gates. Those found in questionable condition have been replaced with new; additional ones have been installed; and all have been carefully tested.


In general the Department is in good condition so far as ser- vice and domestic supply is concerned, and in most portions of the city the fire service is adequate. Another trunk line from the sta- tion and a few larger distributing mains would give nearly the entire city excellent fire protection. This should be the next consideration for increasing the efficiency of the system.

SEWER DEPARTMENT.


The usual care and attention has been given to this excellent system, for so it has proved to be. A little more flushing than usual has been done this year, and this work will continue to increase, as the system is more generally used, in order to keep the solid matter from collecting along the flat grades.

Total connections Jan. 1, 1917. 933. Buildings served. 1,101


RIFLE RANGE.


This much discussed subject has now been settled. The city has purchased approximately one hundred fifty (150) acres at Deantown, and have constructed four target butts, one each at 200 yards, 300 yards, 500 yards, and 600 yards. Target frames purchased and set, and the range completed with the exception of telephones and range house.


The design and construction of this work has been under the supervision of the Adjutant General's office, and we have also ob- tained other expert advice so that if the State does decide to take over the rifle ranges, there can be no question as to ours being prop- erly constructed and laid out.


STREET LIGHTING.


This year we removed all the arc lights on County Street, and placed five 60 C. P. lights for each arc removed, the result being very satisfactory. We hope to continue this work the coming year in other sections of the city.


The following is a list of the number and kinds of lights in use Jan. 1, 1917:

To the employes of this Department, and other departments, I also extend my thanks for their co-operation.

WATER DEPARTMENT. Pipes to be Relaid and New Extensions.


Owing to the advance of 50% in the cost of materials, I do not recommend that any pipes be relaid this year, but I feel that those recommended to be relaid in 1916 are very much needed to improve our distribution system.


New Extensions.


I still think that the extensions recommended for 1916 are fast becoming a necessity, but for the reason stated above I am only recommending three extensions this year, which if these dead ends are connected, will reinforce the supply at the Home Bleach and Dye works and the Crown Mill, both of these concerns having built large additions this year.

BRIDGES.


Water Street Bridge.


This bridge is in a dangerous condition, and I would recommend that a new bridge be constructed the full width of this street. The estimated cost is seven thousand ($7,000) dollars.


Maple Street Bridge.


I would recommend that a new bridge, the full width of the street, over Thacher Brook, be constructed at an estimated cost of one thousand three hundred ($1,300) dollars.


Mechanics Street.


The wooden bridge on this street is in a very dangerous condition and something will have to be done this year either by constructing a new bridge at its present location, or straightening the street, as was suggested in the preliminary report for 1916.


Should it be decided to build a new bridge at its present loca- tion, I would recommend the widening of the street from Hodges Street to Third Street.


The present width of the street from Hodges to Third Street is 40 feet, and from Third Street beyond it is 50 feet wide.


Railroad Bridges.


In 1915, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Bridge Inspector informed me that it would be necessary to lay new the floor timber in all of the overhead bridges during 1916, and when this is done, it will be necessary for the city to lay new flooring.

ANNUAL REPORT


He came to me in September and stated that they were ready to begin work. Lumber was immediately ordered for Olive Street and Holden Street bridges, but it has not arrived as yet, although it is expected in any day.


The estimated cost for repairing these bridges is as follows:

SPECIAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Union and Park Streets.


I am enclosing a schedule of estimates for four different kinds of pavements for the improvement of Union Street, from Mill Street to Park Street; and Park Street, from Union Street to Pine Street. All these pavements are estimated to be laid on a 5-inch concrete base.


In determining the type of pavement to lay, there are several things to consider. Among these are slipperiness, whether noisy or not, easy to clean, sanitary, and life of the pavement.


Of these, the asphalt block and asphalt penetration have about the same characteristics, except that the asphalt penetration is a little less slippery and shorter lived than the asphalt block. The principal features of these pavements are that they are the most slippery, less noisy, easiest to clean, and are sanitary. Brick is less slippery, a little more noisy, not quite so easy to clean, sanitary, and a little longer lived. Granite block affords the best footing for horses, more noisy, hardest to clean, sanitary, and much longer lived.


If we take the probable life of these pavements to be asphalt penetration, five years; asphalt block, ten years; brick, fifteen years, and granite block, thirty years, and divide the cost per square, elimi- nating $1.00 from each, which is practically the cost of the concrete base, the life of which is indefinite, we have the following results:


Kind


Life


Cost per sq. yd.

171/2c


Brick


15 yrs.


2.25


15c


Granite Block


30 yrs.


2.75


9 1/6c


From the above data it might seem wise at first thought to lay Granite Block; but when you consider that it is very noisy and hard to keep clean and therefore dusty and annoying to the manufacturers, it in my judgment is not the pavement to lay on these particular streets.


The same objections hold true of brick pavement, but to a less extent.


Of the asphalt block and asphalt penetration, there is not much choice as far as the convenience of the abutting owners and manu- facturers are concerned, except in the final cost; but considering the first cost and my belief that the asphalt penetration with proper maintenance will last more than five years, it is my judgment that this pavement should be laid. I therefore recommend that asphalt penetration be the material used to pave Union and Park Streets.

DRAINAGE.


This department is at work following out the instruction of the Municipal Council regarding a complete system of surface drainage, cost, etc., and for that reason I am not recommending any special drainage systems this year, but our needs are no fewer than last year.


STREET LIGHTING.


The length of time which our streets are lighted does not seem to satisfy all of our citizens, and I would recommend that the streets be lighted every night and until 1:30 o'clock in the morning. The expense would be small and possibly would do away with the present criticism.


RIFLE RANGE.


The construction of the Rifle Range is still incomplete as there is needed a range house, target house, telephones, and some additional work in filling in front of the butts caused by the settlement of the fresh fill through the winter; also the brush has sprung up during the year and will need to be cut, and some small expense on the targets.


COMMON.


The repair and care of the Common has heretofore been in the Highway Department, but it seems to me that this should be under the Park Commission. I would therefore recommend that the Park Commission be given the care of the Common and that the High- way Department be instructed to take care of the snow.
