WATER COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
The Water Commissioners hereby present their Annual Report :-
There has been no construction work done during the past year, the Commissioners have confined them- selves to the regular routine work, endeavoring to keep the expenses as low as is consistent with good service.
A small Air Compressor installed at the Pumping Station at an expense of $60.00 has proved of value.
New grates have been placed under one of the boilers.
A survey of several of the later extensions of pipe and maps of the same have been made but will not be entirely completed until the ground opens in the spring. When this work is done, there will be a complete atlas of the Water System.
Owing to the change in the fiscal year of the town, we recommend that the fiscal year of the Water Works be changed from July 1 to January 1, thus enabling the collection of the Meter Rate, December 1, before the closing of the accounts of the year.
We recommend that a vote be passed requiring the Water Rate to be collected by August 1 and the meter rates before June 25 and December 24 respectively in each year.
We have referred the matter of a new pump to Mr. William S. Johnson, C. E., of Boston for his advice.
His letter speaks for itself and is included as a part of this report.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE L. CHAPIN, JOSEPH S. HART, WILLIAM H. SHERMAN, Water Commissioners.

February 15, 1915.
Board of Water Commissioners, Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :-
In accordance with your request I have made a study of the advisability of installing an electrically-operated pump at your pumping station, to be used in connection with the steam pumping plant, and have made estimates of the cost of such an installation, and beg to submit the following report.
At the present time the pumping is done by a steam pump having a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons per 24 hours, or about 700 gallons per minute. The pump operates against a head of 160 feet. The average quantity of water pumped is about 210,000 gallons per day, varying from 150,000 gallons in the winter months to nearly 350,000 gallons in the month of maximum consumption.
The reservoir is of large capacity so that it is not necessary to run the pump every day and the time of pumping varies from 17 days in winter months to 25 or 26 days during the summer months. When the pump is not in operation the fire beneath the boiler is banked and the cost of the coal required for keeping the fire while not pumping adds very largely to the cost of pumping. The total cost of coal consumed in a year is about $1,300.
The plant seems to be in good condition and is doing as good work as can be expected by any steam plant of this description.
If electricity is used as motive power I would recom- mend the installation of a triplex pump having a capacity of about 1,000,000 gallons per day operated by a motor connected with the pump by a chain. I have considered very carefully the use of a centrifugal pump. The first cost of such an installation would be considerably less
115
than the cost of a triplex pump but the triplex pump will raise from 15 per cent. to 20 per cent. more water with the same amount of power than will the best centrifugal pump, even when new, and the centrifugal pump loses its efficiency with continued use, while the efficiency of the triplex pump will not decrease. The saving in current by using the more efficient triplex pump will much more than pay the interest on the difference in cost between the two installations.
The chain drive is recommended in order to reduce the noise, which would be considerable with a direct connected plant. The best terms which I have been able to get for electricity from the Edison Company are as follows :---
For the first 20 k.w. hours each month, 10c. per k.w. hr. For the next 1,980 k.w. hours. 3c. per k.w. “ For anything in excess of 2,000 k.w. hours, 2c. per k.w. "
Based on these figures, the cost of electricity required to pump the quantity of water which is used at the present time would be about $1,500 per year as against $1,300 which has been paid for coal. If electricity is used, however, it will be necessary to heat the pumping station and boiler room and for this purpose a steam or hot water heating plant should be installed. The cost of the coal required for heating the station would be about $100 per year, which should be added to the cost of maintaining the electric plant. On the other hand, there should be a considerable saving in the bill for repairs, oil and waste. These items at the present time amount to about $400 per year, and with the triplex pump and motor they should not be more than about half of this amount. It would certainly be safe to assume that the saving in oil, repairs and waste will offset the cost of coal for heating the station.
It would appear, therefore, that to pump by electricity would cost annually for power about $200 more than
116
the cost of coal used in the present plant. There is an important difference, however, in the cost of attendance for the two plants. At the present time I understand that the engineer who operates the plant does considerable work in connection with the water works system and that his time is more than taken up in the two branches of the work. During the past year or two it has been necessary to hire additional labor to assist the engineer. If the electrically-operated pump is installed the time required by the engineer at the pumping station will be very much reduced. The electric pump can be started within a few minutes after the engineer reaches the pumping station, as there will be no fires to start and, after having oiled the machinery and after seeing that everything is running smoothly, the plant can be left to take care of itself for the remainder of the time of pumping. This will obviate the necessity of the addi- tional man at the pumping station and it will give the engineer much more time to attend to other matters which require his attention. In this way a very susbtantial saving can be made and it will probably save employing an additional man during much of the time.
One of the disadvantages of electricity as a motive power in water works installations is that there may be some interruption in the service, and I would recommend that the present steam plant be maintained so that in cases of emergency the pump can be started. The cost of keeping the old plant in readiness for service will not amount to very much and it could readily be started before the reservoir would be exhausted, even in case of a large fire.
I have made as careful an estimate as possible of the cost of installing a triplex pump having a capacity of from 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 gallons with a 50 h. p. motor
117
and find that it can be installed, together with a heating plant and all the necessary connections, for about $4,700.
The pump which I would recommend would be one large enough to pump 1,000,000 gallons at a low speed. Such a pump can be safely speeded up to pump 1,250,000 gallons if it should be found desirable to do so. A 50 h. p. motor would be capable of operating the pump under either of these conditions.
Under the circumstances, I believe that it would be economy for the town to install such a plant, and I would very strongly recommend that it be done.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM S. JOHNSON.
