The Committee has consulted with State officials familiar with the operation of both District and Town operated water systems, met with Directors of the Taxpayers' Association, appeared before the October 27th meeting of the Taxpayers' Association, met with the Commissioners, Clerk, and Superintendent of the Duxbury Fire and Water District and conferred with the consulting engineering firm of Metcalf and Eddy who made a very thorough study and report on the District in 1946.
A Fire and Water District is created by legislative act and usually covers an area within which it is eco- nomically feasible to supply water for fire protection and domestic use. By limiting a District to an area of
123
high evaluation and relatively heavy population it is possible, through reasonable taxation, to set up the necessary plant and to have sufficient demand within the area so that water can be supplied at reasonable rates. In Duxbury the Fire and Water District includes about 90% of the assessed valuation of the Town, 85 % of the population and covers approximately 25% of the Town area. The District has been enlarged from time to time when it has been economically sound to do so. Taxpayers of new sections usually have been assessed directly for about 25% of the cost of the extension and the remaining 75% has been borne by the taxpayers of the District as a whole. This method tends to dis- courage uneconomical expansion. Historically, if a Dis- trict is taken over by a Town it is usually after it has been extended to include practically the entire Town area.
A comparison of water rates of systems about the same size as Duxbury's indicates that the charges for water are about the same whether the systems are operated by Districts or Towns. Four systems operated by Towns averaged a rate of $0.38 per thousand gal- lons and four comparable systems operated by Districts averaged a rate of $0.32 per thousand gallons.
The Metcalf and Eddy Report of 1946 outlined a long term program for the improvement of conditions within the District. The District Commissioners have carried out some of the recommendations. A pipe loop has been completed by an extension of 1300 feet of pipe in Sur- plus Street. A partial extension has been made in Har- rison Street and the material has been obtained to com- plete this loop. A partial extension has been made on Alden Street. A new wall on Partridge Road equipped with an automatic electric pump has relieved pressure conditions at the pumping station and added a new source of water. A new electric pump has been installed
124
at the pumping station. Numerous extensions of serv- ices have been made within the District to care for the large number of new residences. The District has been expanded most recently to include Tinkertown. Exten- sive and costly work is still to be done before the Engi- neer's recommendations are completed.
The extension of the District to include the West Duxbury and North Duxbury areas where there are centers of population still appears to be uneconomical as pointed out in the Engineer's report. However, the Committee believes that the District Commissioners should make a further study of these areas with a view to supplying them from Pembroke and Marshfield re- spectively and at some future date, when economically justified, connecting them to the Duxbury system.
The Committee has found no indication that the water rates would be materially changed if the District were operated as a Town Department nor that improve- ments and expansion could be accomplished at a more rapid rate without undue burden on the taxpayers both in and outside the District. The present conservative method of District expansion appears to be well worth retaining.
The Committee, therefore, does not consider it ad- visable for the Town to take over and operate the Duxbury Fire and Water District at this time.
As a result of its investigation the Committee is prompted to make several suggestions which it be- lieves would result in benefits to both the District and the Town. These are:
(1) That an attempt be made to increase the at- tendance at the District Annual Meeting by the use of mailed notices or perhaps changing the meeting date.
125
(2) That the District Commissioners cooperate with the Town Planning Board and prepare a tenta- tive plan and timetable for improvements within the District and for expansion of the District.
(3) That the information in the booklet covering District regulations be expanded to include an explanation of how any section of the Town may become a part of the District.
In conclusion the Committee wishes to thank all those who have cooperated in this investigation.
Respectfully submitted,
ATHERTON LORING, JR. GRAHAM T. WINSLOW WALTER C. WRYE, JR. E. D. RYER, Chairman.
