Report of Public Works Department
1947 Expenditures $204,048.98
1948 Budget 363,785.50
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
Following is a brief summary of some of the work accomplished this year: 36,327 gallons of tar and 49,961 gallons of ashphalt placed on our streets; over 1750 feet of drainage pipe together with the necessary structures was installed; 4932 sq. yds. of granolithic walks and drives were placed by contractor; 5356 lin. ft. of new granite curbing was set; 1214 lin. ft. of curbing reset; also 114 drive- way corners set by contractor.
660 ft. of cable guard fence and concrete posts were placed this year which provides much needed protection to the public. The concrete posts were made by onr own force during inclement weather in the winter months.
Every year we mention that it was a peak year in water consumption and revenue received from same, but again this year considerable more water was used: 771,502.000 gallons were pumped from the West Street Station, which is an increase of 7% over 1946 the daily average being 2,114,000 gallons. 4289.6 feet of new water pipe extensions were placed during the fiscal year. Two new fire services were installed, 35 service replacements, and 99 new services placed, showing that more new homes have been built this year.
The 1946 Public Works annual report recorded the fact that Thomas Worcester, Inc., our consulting engineers, submitted a preliminary report for additional water supply. This report was accepted during the early part of the year and an appropriation was provided for same. Plan work, field survys, and test borings have followed along during the year so that in the early part of 1948, actual work on the contracts for new walls and equipment will proceed.
In August of this year the water situation was most acute. Within a period of less than a week, ten test wells that had previously been driven were hooked together, a city pump was installed, 1000 feet of 8 inch pipe was placed and this supply became available, alleviating a most serious situation.
Early in the year, a council approval of plans and estimates for new Sludge Beds and pumping equipment at the Sewer Beds by Thomas Worcester, Inc., was made with an appropriation for same.
Much work has been done on this project and the present status is such that bids for equipment and installation will be called for early next year.
The department is much pleased in receiving three pieces of new equipment this year.
A catch basin cleaner called an Elgin "Eductor" was early received, this equipment was mounted on one of our reconditioned trucks and has already proved its worth in speeding this type of work so sadly neglected in the past years.
61
ANNUAL REPORT
An International 5 ton truck, with a dump body, has also proven its worth in the usual kind of work for such equipment and especially as a snow plow unit.
Late in the fall, we received the new 3/4 yd. "Koehring" shovel. This is a, diesel unit and while it was rather late for our scheduled work, its value will be appreciated in the following seasons.
The Statistical records follow.
In conclusion I wish to express my full appreciation to His Honor the Mayor, the members of the Municipal Council, Department Heads, the Press, and all members of the Public Works Department for their co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
R. W. Mawney, Superintendent Public Works
