Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Williamsburg :
Your Water Board reports: A. WPA project was received from the Federal Government to replace 600 ft. 1-4 in. Galvanized pipe on Hatfield Road which was badly corroded with 4-in. cast iron pipe. At the time this project was started, your water commissioners were informed by the residence of seven homes off Hatfield Road that their water service was very unsatisfactory. Once again we applied for another project from the Federal Government which was granted and this line is all in, but is not connected at George Dan- serau, because of the fact that the hurricane and flood necessitated WPA help being taken from this project for rehabitation work.
During the flood of September the eight-inch main under the river at Bradford's Mill bridge was cracked, and another eight-inch main under river at Jenkins store was also cracked.
At the reservoir at the upper dam the South bank started to wash out and all bridges were washed away. At the intake reser- voir, the entire spillway was washed out and about fifty trees were uprooted.
Your board applied for a rehabitation project and after con- siderable delay it was granted to us in November and the following work has been accomplished.
The eight-inch main at Bradford Mill bridge has been repaired in such a way that in the event of another break at this point, the village of Haydenville will be taken care of immediately by laying two lines of fire hose over the bridge. This change necessitated the purchase of two eight-inch valves, one for above and one for below the bridge to attach the fire hose. At Jenkins store the pipe under the river was repaired and the work at the serervoir was started. The dam of the upper reservoir has been repaired, one bridge has been replaced, and work was started on the spillway, but due to bad weather condition, the WPA engineer stopped the project for the time and same will be continued when the weather is more suitable.
31
All of this work has been done at a minimum of expense to the town, as the Federal Government furnished not only labor, but also trucking and a big percentage of material.
RECOMMENDATION
Your water board recommends the installation of an Automatic Chlorinator.
Respectfully submitted,
RAYMOND GRAY, Chairman,
