A new W. P. A. project for main line extensions was begun late in the year. This project includes extensions which I believe are of utmost importance to our water system and merit serious consideration; also included are improvements to the roadways leading to our standpipe and along the force main, protective chain link fencing around the standpipe, clearing of brush around these locations and other miscellaneous work pertaining to the improvement of the water supply system.
In addition to new construction the department has a great deal of main- tenance work, servicing of meters and other equipment, reading of all meters in the city, answering all fire alarms and inspection of hydrants after use for fire fighting purposes, repairing of meters, testing meters, 24-hour service to the public for emergency work, and much advisory consultation to manufacturing plants and public institutions.
The percentage of water metered of the total quantity of water pumped is one which is of interest to all because it has a direct bearing on the water revenue to the city. The percentage of the total quantity of water pumped which was
160.81
Incidentals
221
ANNUAL REPORT
metered is 79.56% for the year 1940. The average percentage which is noted by the New England Water Works Association throughout its territory is 75%. The quantity of water metered is the only quantity which can be billed, therefore, the higher this percentage becomes the higher the revenue to the city is for any given quantity of water pumped. Meters never register more water than is used, and an old inefficient meter always registers less water than is actually used. Meters of this inefficient type lowers the percentage rate and thereby lowers the revenue received. Conversely new and efficient meters raise the percentage rate and increase the revenue. The 1940 percentage being above the accepted average shows the efficiency which is being obtained in the meter department by testing, repairing and replacing old meters and installing new meters where necessary. Under the heading of "Recommendations for Equip- ment" for the Water Division, paragraph No. 3, I am outlining in detail a plan which will insure us of a high percentage of metered water.
One used 1 1/2 cu. yd. Ford truck with dump body and hoist was purchased for this department in the past year.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Improvements:
1. The standpipe should be thoroughly reconditioned which should include water-proofing of the inside of the tank and repair of the walls on the outside, also miscellaneous repairs. Consideration should also be given the advisability of constructing another storage tank which would be an assurance of uninterrupted service as far as that particular portion of the distribution system is concerned.
2. I recommend the installation of an additional 12" water main from the pumping station to Highland Avenue, where, at the present time, there is only one main which feeds the entire south end of the city. This installation is in- cluded in the present W. P. A. project for installation of water mains.
3. Included in the above mentioned W. P. A. project for water main installation there is included the construction of roadways leading to the stand- pipe from South Avenue, and from Tiffany Street along the 16" force main to the standpipe, and toward the pumping station; the clearing of brush on the water- shed area adjacent to the above mentioned roadways and around the standpipe; construction of an 8' chain link fence around standpipe and other miscellaneous work at this location. I recommend this work be completed without delay.
4. The maintenance account has not been sufficient for a number of years to perform a survey and repair program in which all curb shut-offs and main line valve boxes could be inspected and repaired. These locations are vital points in the distribution system for it is at these points that the water line can be opened or closed to regulate the flow of water in both the main lines and private services. I recommend funds be made available for this work. Equipment :
1. I recommend the replacement of a 1930 Ford pick-up truck with a new truck of the same type.
2. I recommend the purchase of a new tapping machine to replace the present machine which is 30 years old. The machine is beyond repairs and should be replaced. It has been necessary to borrow one from North Attleboro Water Department this year, and we are deeply appreciative for this cooperation. The machine is used for making large connections to the existing main lines under pressure.
3. I have already dealt with the importance of maintaining at the highest possible level the efficiency of the meters which register the water quantities used throughout the city. I recommend the increase of the allotment for the meter department to $2,500.00 per year. It would be impossible to replace all the old meters in one year because of the expense involved and as an alternative pro- cedure the following plan would in a period of several years retire all the old, inefficient meters and result in raising the percentage of water metered. There are approximately 4,000 meters in use and assuming each meter to have a useful
222
ANNUAL REPORT
life of 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. The remaining $500.00 would be for the maintenance of the meter department which must test and repair meters which are in service. Also the cost of meters for new additional services would have to be purchased from this amount. In the coming year an additional sum of approximately $250.00 should be made available for purchase of special tools and equipment used in the maintenance, repair and testing of meters. This is to partly replace, old, worn out equipment.
Various statistics pertaining to the Water Department follow:

ANNUAL REPORT
PUMPING STATION
The advisability of retaining the auxiliary steam pumping unit at the pump- ing station in South Attleboro was well demonstrated during the early part of the year when the heavy snow storm crippled the electrical supply to the pumping station. In the emergency the Snow steam pump was used to good advantage. In the two months of February and March it was used for a total of 192 hours pumping time.
The house in which the Chief Engineer of the pumping station resides is owned by the city and is located adjacent to the pumping station. The condition of this property is in a deplorable state due to the absence of funds available for its maintenance. I recommend that funds be made available in the coming year for the complete renovation of this property.
I recommend the development of an additional well supply similar to the present so-called "Bowler wells", at a location just below the Orr's Pond dam. This location was tested during the survey for locations of our present "Bowler wells", the test at this location showing a potential supply of high quality and quantity. If this location were developed for water supply the water could be piped directly to our present treatment plant and serve as an excellent auxiliary supply.
It is quite apparent for several reasons that a portable chlorinator should be purchased for emergency operation at any point in our water supply system. It is not the desire of this department to chlorinate our water supply that prompts this recommendation. It is rather our desire to protect by every means at our disposal the water supply of our city. We are constantly testing the water supply to maintain the highest quality water which we can obtain. It is true, however, that any water supply which is obtained from open reservoirs and streams is subject to local points of contamination.
Such a condition of contamination of sufficient magnitude could become a source of considerable concern as regards the water supply. However, a portable chlorinating unit could quickly rectify this condition in a safe and predetermined manner, thus assuming the community of a healthful water supply. I wish to emphasize the fact that this recommendation, strongly supported by the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health, is in the form of insurance against any condition jeopardizing the quality of our water supply, the quality of which effects in part the health of every person in the community.
