Annual Report
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 1953
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
A schedule of work by this Department in 1953 with record detail and suggestion for needed improvements in 1954 is herewith submitted.
Water main line extensions in various parts of the City and services for new homes formed a substantial part of the programme.
The abandonment of the old six inch water main on Pleasant Street and the completion of the ten inch loop on Pike Avenue to Pleasant Street should improve the water service in the northeast area considerably.
A most interesting and worthwhile job was the replacement of the 6 inch water main between County Street and the Larson Tool Co. plant. A 10 Inch line was continued up the west railroad bridge approach to within about 200 feet of the railroad bridge. It is planned, subject to City Government approval to continue this line over the railroad bridge and finally connect with the 12 inch main on So. Main Street.
The replacement was necessary because of lack of volume for fire protection in the Larson Tool Co. plant on account of the tuberculation in the 6 inch line which in turn was caused by lack of flow in the pipe which was dead ended at said Larson plant. Both volume and pressure from hydrant lines was sufficient to meet the approval of the Underwriter's inspectors.
The 435 horsepower Diesel engine and 300 kilowatt generator was set up at the West Street Pumping Station, and the 4 m. g. d. pump and 250 horsepower motor piped up also. The electrical wiring and controls were completed so that either the central station power qr the Diesel engine gen- erator set could be used for station operation.
It is expected that the installation will be completed and ready for test early in 1954. As a point of general information the delay for the com- pletion of the whole improvement at this station was occasioned by extremely slow delivery of the switch gear by General Electric Company and does not reflect in the least upon this Department or the Consulting Engineer.
An overhead power line was built form the pumping station to Well "B" near Tiffany Street which now allows all electric power to be metered at the switchboard at the station.
Some landscaping, grading and tree planting has been accomplished around the station yard and near the reservoir on West Street with much more to be done when men and equipment can be spared from construction and maintenance.
63
Annual Report
Report of the Public Works Department-continued
Test wells around the Wading River Pumping station disclosed sub- surface conditions not suited to the installation of more well points for supply but indicated the construction of additional gravel packed or cassion wells within an increased filter bed area which would be necessarily developed.
Additional wells for supply to utilize the maximum pumping of 1. 5 m. g. d. at this station would obviously be an economic advantage as the present available supply is only 7 m. g. per day.
A new gravel pit has been developed on the Wood Farm area easierly of Orr's Pond and the bank run gravel is trucked to the West Street screening plant which was completed in the early summer. Material is separated by a rotary screen with all stones larger than one inch in diameter being crushed while smaller stones, gravel and sand is stock piled for road surface construc- tion.
A gaging station to record the volume of stream flow was built slightly below the Wading River Pumping station on the stream edge. The building plan and the recording instrument were furnished by the United States Geologi- cal Survey. Construction by City forces.
The purpose of the flow record is to determine the amount of water passing the station which will be available to the industries having water rights in this river and to comply with the Legislative Acts of 1925 and the directives of the Mass. Dept. of Public Health controlling the discharge from Mirimichi Reservoir.
Street construction and maintenance required the application of 135, 000 gallons of road oil, 66, 202 feet of roadway surface was treated and ten streets were accepted this year totaling 5120 feet in length.
The completion of Brown Street between Mendon Road and the Rhode Island State Line, under Chapter 90 participation with the State and County, added a very fine piece of roadway to the street system.
The complete construction data is appended.
Surface water drainage pipe line construction was required on several new streets, the most extensive being on Bayberry Hill Road, crossing South Main Street to Prosperity Lake.
Drainage on Clifton Street and Town House Road was installed as a prerequisite to roadway resurfacing.
A mechanical pipe line cleaner was purchased for cleaning maintenance Un both surface drains and sewers which will enable workmen to remove accum- ulated debris which is not possible by hand methods. Many lines neglected for

Report of the Public Works Department-continued
this reason will now be scheduled for regular maintenance cleaning.
A sewer extension between Pembroke Avenue and Thacher Street relieved an unsanitary sewage disposal problem for five homes adjacent thereto.
A new industrial building on Eddy Street required an extension of 180 feet also.
The steel work of the Olive Street railroad bridge was extensively repaired by the New Haven railroad and all wood timbers replaced. City forces laid a 5 inch matched hard pine, treated, plank deck with a 1-1/2 inch asphalt plank wearing surface. This is a very modern and durable con- struction.
Lindsey Street bridge is scheduled for repairs by the railroad in 1954 which will require a new deck by the City.
The Cliff Street river bridge was reported in 1952 as being a problem for maintenance. It is somewhat more of a problem at the end of this year of 1953.
The carrying timbers have rotted so that deck plank spikes will not hold resulting in an annoying rattle each time a car passes.
This bridge should be replaced with a durable structure of ade- quate width and in proper alignment with the river and should be built soon regardless of the time of construction of the Riverbank Road extension.
The annual contract construction of curbing and cement sidewalk installation was carried to completion without incident. The quantities are in excess of the 1952 work as shown by the tabulation.
A cable highway guard fence with concrete posts was placed on West Streett from the screening plant to the intersection of South Avenue. This protects traffic adjacent to the water storage reservoirs in the so- called "Bennett's Pit" area.
Only one small old stone culvert was replaced by concrete pipe, that being on Read Street.
RECOMMENDATION for 1954
The recommendations for 1953 which were not considered in the Budget of that year are again incorporated in this report since they are now fully as important to the community as a whole as they originally were.
Some of the subjects mentioned, specifically, stand pipe repairs, additional standpipe capacity or low head reservoir construction, additional
65
Annual Report
Report of the Public Works Department-continued
wells at Wading River and the replacement of four inch water mains in the industrial area for improved fire protection are serious responsibilities that are shared equally by this Department and the Municipal Government by whom, of course, the authority for ultimate completion must be initiated.
Additional 1. 5 million gallon standpipe or 3 million gallon low head reservoir.
Repair present standpipe immediately.
Increase capacity of Wading River Station by additional wells.
Build new dam above station at Blakes Pond and a low dam above the site of the Old Knife Works Mill on Williams St. , Mansfield which would impound water in the Robinson Pond also.
A schedule of old water main cleaning should be set up and carried forward each year particularly in the Park, N. Main and Pleasant Street areas.
Small four inch mains in the industrial area on the East side must ultimately be replaced preferably with eight inch pipe.
In all cases wherever reasonably possible extensions should be made which will complete a loop of supply main and new work should be evaluated accordingly.
Recoding meters and pump controls should be installed on each well at the West St. Pumping Station so that the capacity of each individual well can be determined and each operated accordingly.
During week ends or times of less demand the wells of smallest volume could be used allowing the best wells to recover for peak demand.
A capacity record of supply would be of great value in planning additional well capacity in this area.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Add to present Wall St. garage for live storage and Water Depart- ment equipment or develop a new building and yard at another location.
Purchase new twelve ton tandem roller.
Three sidewalk tractors for snow plowing. One for each quarter section of the Center and one to be stationed at Hebronville.
Truck with hydraulic hoist for handling water pipe in trenches and all load hoisting
66
Annual Report
Report of the Public Works Department continued-
Vacuum leaf loader and truck body for removal of fallen leaves
Again County St from Read St. to the end of the 1951 construction under Ch 90 agreement should be considered for relocation and construction
Mill Street and So. Main St adjacent to the Railroad station should be repaved with a hot top surface similar to So. Main St. northerly to Park St
No. Main St Sanford to Dean St. should be similarly improved
Sanfort St between Bank and No Main should be widened in general conforming to the plans long on file in this Department The volume of traffic using the parking lot plus the proposed change in zoning from residential to business warrants this consideration.
SANITARY SEWERS:
The proposed sewer extension fron the Ten Mile River Trunk lins to serve that area north of Thacher St and east of the railroad extending to County Square cannot be ignored much longer as this area is developing rapidly Sewerage at the Tiffany School is a problem
SURFACE DRAINS®
A surface drain system generally parallel to the above recommended sewer to serve the same area is again mentioned as the surface water runoff becomes more rapid with each street improvement with consequent gutter erosion and added maintenance as well as flooding of yards
Pine Road, Washington St. to Robinson Avenue should be serviced by basins and the necessary pipe line; also Robinson Avenue east of Mendon Road
Thanks is extended to all City Department Heads particularly Chief Marron of the Police Department and Chief Mowry of the Fire Department Mayor Brennan, all Members of the Municipal Council, all citizens who offered timely suggestions and especially to all personnel of this Department without whose cooperation and support the accomplishments of this ye .. would have been impossible.
