2. At the present time we have a tapping machine which is at least 30 years old. No repair parts can be obtained for this machine unless is it sent to the factory and the parts made up specially for it, which is very expensive. This machine is used on water installation of main lines where they connect with present main lines having no fittings foi such a connection. These connections must be made under full pressure without any interruption of service. I recom- mend the purchase of a new tapping machine having a capacity of from two inches to twelve inches.
3. I wish to call to your attention again the advisability of increasing the allotment for our meter department to $2,500.00 for the coming year. Un- doubtedly it would be impossible to replace all the old meters in one year due to the large sum of money required. As an alternative procedure, I am recom- mending the above amount on the basis of the following plan: There are ap- proximately 4000 meters in use at the present time, and assuming the average life of each meter to be 20 years, the number to be replaced each year would be 200 meters at a cost of $10.00 each, a total of $2,000.00. Then each year we have a number of new services installed which require a meter. As a result of new water main installation, the unusual number of approximately 35 meters were added this year. This cost plus the repair and testing costs on meters inservice would require at least an addition a $500.00.
This plan of providing an adequate replacement of old meters insures a definite saving to the city because old meters record less than the actual amount of water used. The extent of this discrepancy depends upon the condition of the meter. Also, an inequality exists between consumers who have new, efficient meters and those having old, under-rating meters.
Various statistics pertaining to the Water Department are given in the follow- ing tables:

PUMPING STATION
During the summer of this year we experienced a rather serious drought. Fortunately our reservoirs of water supply carried us through this period without any serious threat of shortage. The records show that the amount of precipita- tion for 1939 was approximately 25 per cent less than the average. If these conditions continue through the winter and spring of 1940, when our reservoirs are normally storing up potential supplies for the dry summer period, we can expect a situation which might cause serious concern. It is with these facts in mind that I recommend the development of an additional well supply at a location which was tested during the survey which was made in 1936 for locations of the Bowler wells. The test which I refer to was made in the location of the old ice house which stood just below the dam at Orr's Pond and indicated the largest supply of any location tested. I recommend that a well be driven here with the necessary pumping equipment housed in a small brick house similar to the Bowler well houses. An eight-inch pipe line could then be installed from this point to West Street, continuing along West Street to the pumping station, then connected to one of the present lines which feed into the treatment plant.
The cost of pumping per million gallons was slightly lower this year than for 1938. Every advantage is taken of the low off-peak rate at night to lower our power costs for pumping. The power consumption is checked periodically during the vear.
The aerating and treatment equipment have given very satisfactory service during the year. With periodic testing we have been assured of a uniformly good quality of water. The absence of complaints regarding the water is the best criterion of the success of our efforts.
Adjacent to the pumping station is located the dwelling house which is owned by the City and in which the chief engineer of the pumping station resides. I have made recommendations previously in my reports for the renovation of this property. However, up to the present time nothing has been done to remedy the conditions. The plumbing throughout the house, including fixtures, is entirely unsatisfactory. Sections of flooring have to be removed to gain access to the piping. A number of years ago a break in the piping flooded a portion of the house causing plaster to fall and resulted in irreparable damage to house furnishings. A short time ago another break occurred but was located before damage resulted. The electric wiring throughout the house should be gone over thoroughly. No repair work such as painting or papering has been done in the house for at least ten years. On the outside, the house requires painting and a few odd repair jobs. I hope in the coming year this situation will receive its due attention.
It is very much the desire of this department that a portable chlorinator be provided for our use. The type used by the Massachusetts Department of Health would be of great assistance to us for emergencies, also being a portable unit could be used for sterilizing new installations, the standpipe and the clear well at the pumping station. It should be understood that the greater portion of our drinking water flows down the Seven Mile River over which we have no more than general supervision. It is not the intention of the department to chlorinate our water, but such a unit would be good insurance in case of need.
