Annual Report
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 1956
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council:
I herewith submit the report of the Public Works Department for the year ending December 31, 1956.
A very important improvement to the water distribution system was the re- placement of the old 6" water main in Maple Street between Pine Street and Brook Street with a new 12" line. This will furnish a greater volume of water to the in- dustrial area along Brook Street
The distribution system was increased by 8. 5 miles of new water mains placed by City forces and by the Contractor under the 1st and 2nd Bond issues. A new 12" line was installed from Knight Avenue to the new plant of the Thompson Chemical Company off Bliss Avenue.
A new 12" connection was laid from the pumping station to the 12" water line feeding South Attleboro. This was necessary to aid in the replacement of the old non-standard fittings in the piping at the Pumping Station. Also to accomplish the change it was necessary to insert two 16" gate valves, one in the force main to the stand pipe and one in the 16" line to West Street, with the insertion of these two val- ves control of these lines is brought nearer to the Pumping Station.
It became necessary to replace two stone culverts, one on Newport Avenue (Old Post Road) and one on West Street, east of North Avenue. The old stone cul- vert on Newport Avenue was replaced with 40 feet of 18" reinforced concrete pipe. This culvert was laid to a new grade allowing for a better runoff. The old stone culvert on West Street had started to fall in and it became necessary to replace it with two lines of 30" reinforced concrete pipe. The new culvert pipe should im- prove the run off in this area.
A major Sewer main installation was completed in the County Heights section. The main Sewer line was laid in Thacher Street from County Street to the 24" cast iron main located near the Ten Mile River Culvert at the N. Y. , N. H. and H. R. R. and the prolongation of Summer Street sewer lines were installed in the side streets as far as grades would permit. This installation eliminated a very bad sanitary con- dition at the Tiffany School caused by inadequate sewage disposal area.
Work was continued at the Luther Dam Reservoir area, consisting of the eli- mination of cesspools and replacement with septic tanks and sanitary drainage fields and the necessary loaming and graveling of the areas disturbed in the process.
After the installation of the new 12" water line in Maple Street between Brook Street and Pine Street the roadway was rebuilt and resurfaced with the Moto-Paver.
65.
Annual Report
Report of the Public Works Department continued-
The major project for the Highway this year was the resurfacing of the various streets damaged by the installation of sewer and water mains.
The Cliff Street Bridge and the Deanville Road Bridge were repaired by the addition of new decks.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that this year we replace several pieces of highway equip- ment that, because of their age, the maintenance costs are becoming excessive. Most important of which are the Street Sweeper and the Load Packer.
Under new equipment this year, consideration should be given to the purchase of a Hydro-Crane or similar unit to be used for lowering pipe in trenches and mis- cellaneous hoisting work. Present use of the Back-Hoe to lower pipe is not desir- able from a safety stand point.
With the equipment now used by the Highway Department, sanding of streets cannot be started until the streets are plowed out and the plows are removed from the trucks. If the department had a truck-mounted sander, this sanding operation would not be dependent upon the trucks used for plowing and snow removal and could be used to sand streets while the plowing is still going on.
The purchase of a pneumatic truck-mounted catch basin cleaner is necessary to properly clean the catch basins especially in the areas where we have gravel side- walks. This unit would also remove the large quantity of sand washed into the basins during the winter sanding operations.
Maintenance of the sewer main lines is becoming increasingly difficult because of the penetration of the root growth which impedes the normal flow of Sewage. A trailer mounted sewer cleaning machine could clean the mains in a safe and efficient manner.
Thanks is extended to all City Department Heads, particularly Chief Marron of the Police Department and Chief Packard of the Fire Department, Mayor Brennan, and all members of the Municipal Council, all citizens who offered timely suggestions and especially to all personnel of this department without whose co-operation and sup- port the accomplishments of this year would have been impossible.
