WATER COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
The Board of Water Commissioners of the Town of Lincoln respectfully submit the following Report :-
During the past year there have been pumped 73,826,500 gallons of water, an average of 231,100 gallons per day. The minimum and maximum average daily amounts were respectively 162,200 and 350,100 gallons.
Mr. James T. Laird has continued as Engineer and Superintendent of the Works. His pay was increased to the extent of $2.00 per week, beginning with the week ending May 1, 1915, the total amount now, after twenty- seven and one-half years service with the Water Works, being $22.00 per week and his water rates.
Mr. Laird was also reappointed Collector for the Water Works. The pay for this service and responsibility being fixed at $175.00 for the year. The time taken on the collection work is outside of the time for which he is otherwise paid.
Prior to the resignation of Mr. Chapin the Board of Water Commissioners voted to install an electrically operated pump which might be used either alone or in conjunction with the steam pump. The town is de- pendent at the present wholly on one steam pump and that means coal, which has been constantly getting more expensive, and further, a licensed engineer to operate it, possibly later a fireman. One boiler is now about 17 years old and the other about 15 years old.
The meter at the Reservoir is not in working order at the present time owing to its having been damaged by frost during the winter of 1915. The value to the town of a meter at this place is at least very doubtful.
127
The Winslow Recording Device for recording the elevation of the water in the Reservoir, as originally connected up was often in trouble on account of trees. During the past year a contract was made with the Telephone Company for the use of a pair of wires in their cable, from a point opposite the entrance to the Reservoir to the end of their cable on the Sandy Pond Road. The balance of the line, about 1,000 feet, was put in new and was put underground.
The various dead ends on the main pipe must sooner or later be connected and this will gradually be done.
The time has now arrived when the Water Com- missioners feel justified in making a reduction in the fixture rates and this reduction will undoubtedly be made on July 1, 1916, effective from that date. Such a reduction would have been made on July 1, 1915, except that the Water Commissioners felt it to be econ- omy, safety for the Town and good judgment to make provision for the payment of installing a new pump out of the surplus earnings and to postpone definitely re- ducing the rates until next year.
Under date of October 23, 1915, Mr. George L. Chapin resigned from the Board, much to the regret of the re- maining members. Mr. Chapin has, during his thirty- five years of intimate connection with the Water Works, actively taken part in not only saving to the town a Water Works System, but in building it to its present proportions and has very truly assisted in carrying out the original proposition of the Water Act which author- ized the establishment of a Water Works System in the Town of Lincoln, for the purpose of supplying the inhabitants of the town with water. At the present time water mains are so laid that all of the inhabitants of the town can be supplied, except those living on one road. The plant is fully meeting its expenses, including the retirement of bonds, and can now, if its present
128
policy be continued, reduce the water rates. This has been accomplished notwithstanding considerable op- position on the part of some. We feel that the town has been particularly fortunate in having had the services of Mr. Chapin for so long a time.
In accordance with the requirements of the law a joint meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the remaining members of the Board of Water Commissioners was held on November 13, 1915, at which meeting Mr. John Adams was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Chapin.
Inadvertently one bill of $175 does not appear in this year's account, with this exception all the bills con- tracted during the past year have been paid.
The Board is always glad to receive advice and sug- gestions tending toward the improvement of the service.
