The Water Department completed the year 1961 with its revenues from all sources exceeding the total expendi- tures chargeable to the Department by $8,751.45. This is the third consecutive year that the Water Department has finished the year with a surplus. This year's surplus is greater than heretofore due mainly to a reduction in the amount of uncollected water bills outstanding at the end of the year from $11,219.24 as of December 31, 1960 to $6,734.10 as of December 31, 1961. The drive to collect all bills rendered during the year before the end of that year or discontinue the service will be continued, and is the goal of the Water Commissioners with the cooperation of the Town Collector.
The tabulation below gives a condensed summary of the financial situation. Complete details are given in the excellent report of the Town Accountant.

During the year the following work, in addition to routine maintenance and operation, was accomplished :
Drollett Development: The water mains constructed in this area at the expense of the developer were com- pleted under the supervision and to the standards of the Water Department in a most satisfactory manner.
Truck. A new Studebaker Lark station wagon to replace the old Superintendent's car was purchased during the year from the low bidder at a cost of $1800.

Back Hoe. A new back hoe to replace the old one was purchased from the low bidder at a cost of $4889.
Extensions. The following extensions authorized at the 1961 Town Meeting were completed during the year and are now in service :
Old Route 3 from Summer St. to Winter St. 2,650 ft .- 8-in.
Tobey Garden St. from Island
Creek Rd. to Elm St. 733 ft .- 12-in.
Arrowhead Rd. from Wadsworth Rd.
to end of 2-in. line 470 ft .- 6-in.
Weston Rd. from jct. Peterson Rd.
and Weston Rd. to end of 6-in. line 260 ft .- 6-in.
Pine Ridge Lane from Bay Ridge Lane, westerly 400 ft .- 6-in.
New Services and Renewals. During the year, more new services were installed than in any previous year. The number of new services was 67 and the number of re- newals was 21. The new services included 21 services to old houses not previously connected to the system and 46 services to new buildings. This unprecedented number of services placed an enormous work load on our present personnel and cut deeply into our stocks of materials, necessitating the Commissioners to request the Finance Committee to help by transferring $1,200.00 from the Re- serve Fund which was charged to the Water Department.
Freeze-Ups. During the cold spell of February 1961, the Department was forced to hire additional personnel and special equipment to handle the large number of freeze-ups of services that occurred during that period which was one of the worst in many years. This cost the Department $780. Funds to meet this were requested of
ng
158
the Finance Committee as part of the $1200 referred to above.
Main Relocations. During the year, the Water De- partment expended $985 to relocate a 12-in. main on Franklin St. This relocation was believed to be directly incidental to the Chapter 90 work in the improvement of Franklin St., and it is believed that such unpredictable main relocation costs should be directly chargeable to road construction and not to the Water Department. If the Water Department were not an enterprise account, it would make no difference. It is believed that the above amount should be refunded to the Water Department from available funds, and a special article along these lines will be submitted at the next Town Meeting.
Leakage. During the year, an attempt was made with regular personnel to determine the amount of leakage in the system. It is well known that in all water systems there is a discrepancy between the amount of water pumped and the amount paid for through metering. This discrepancy is due to many causes, a few of which might be water used by dead end bleeders, flushing, fire use and leaking old cast iron mains and other mains. The study so far indicates that our leakage in certain parts of the system, in particular some of the old 1914 cast iron mains, is excessive. No conclusions have been reached as yet, and the study will continue to determine whether any correction is economically feasible.
New Water Sources. The Commissioners entered into an agreement with Whitman & Howard, Engrs. to conduct the search for new water sources in the North Duxbury area and to study the present facilities at Millbrook, as authorized by the last Town Meeting. The study has been completed, and the report summarized in brief states as follows :
.
159
1. Eight test wells (approximately 500 ft.) were driven in the area along and adjacent to Temple and West Streets, and no satisfactory well of adequate capa- city was found. The report recommended that further test wells be driven in the North Duxbury area.
2. Tests at the Millbrook Station indicate that, in order to operate the well fields at their present capacity of approximately 375 gal. per min. without developing excessive pressures, it will be necessary to clean the main leading to the pumping station from Tremont Street, the 10-in. main along Tremont Street to St. George Street, and the 8-in. main along St. George Street.
Tests at Millbrook also indicated that there were two adjacent existing test wells having an indicated potential of 700 gal. per min. if developed as a gravel packed well. It was recommended that an 8-in. well at the above loca- tion be given a seven-day pumping test to verify definitely that the quality of the water is satisfactory, free from objectionable iron, etc. It was pointed out that, if this well proved out, it would be possible at some future time as the need developed to abandon the present old well fields and pumping machinery, and use the new, modern well of much greater capacity provided the main along Tremont Street southward to Depot Street was suitably enlarged.
Main Cleaning. A 6-in. and an 8-in. "rabbit" was purchased during the year. It is planned to initiate a program of main cleaning beginning with Enterprise Street and Powder Point Avenue as soon as the skilled personnel situation permits. It was intended to start this program in the fall of 1961, but the great demand for new services, as mentioned previously, interfered.
Sale of Water to Pembroke. During the year, the Water Commissioners entered into an agreement with
160
the Water Commissioners of the Town of Pembroke to sell them water for a period of five years at fifteen cents per 1000 gallons with a $150.00 annual minimum guaran- tee. The area to be supplied was carefully delineated to pertain only to approximately fifty families in Pembroke who otherwise had no immediate access to town water. An 8-in. main was extended along Birch Street to the town line. One hydrant was installed on this line and a 6-in. meter and pit were built just over the town line in Pembroke, all construction and equipment at no expense to the Town of Duxbury.
Increase in Total Assessed Valuation of the Town due to Main Extensions. It is estimated that since the initial water main extension was undertaken by the Town into West Duxbury in 1955 the increased assessments of buildings and land along the various extensions completed since that date now yield approximately $10,000 per year in taxes directly attributable to the water main extensions. No cognizance of this fact is reflected in the accounting system for Water Department costs at this time other than the tacit general understanding that the Fire Pro- tection Cost (Hydrant Service) to the Town is actually reduced annually by approximately $10,000.
It is estimated also by the Water Commissioners that during the year 1961 assessed valuations were increased $13,000. due to water main extensions constructed during that year. It is intended to include a similar figure each year henceforth in the town report.

THE FUTURE
Petitions. Three petitions to extend the present sys- tem were received during the year. They are being studied carefully by the Commissioners and recommendations will be submitted at the Town Meeting. The petitions were as follows :
1. A petition to build an 8-inch line on Lake Shore Drive westerly from Pumping Station No. 4 approxi- mately 2350 ft. in length to service nine families at this time and to cost approximately $8900.00.
2. A petition to build a 6-in. line extending north- westerly along Route 139 (Tremont St.) from Cox's Cor- ner to the town line, thence a short distance into Marsh- field to Careswell St., thence westerly to Route 3A. This line would be approximately 2550 ft. in length and would service five families, and is estimated to cost $7400.00.
3. A petition to build an 8-in. main extending from the corner of Tremont St. and Oak St., along Oak St. to School St., thence along School St. to Elm St. This line would be approximately 2900 ft. in length and would service three families, and is estimated to cost $10,800.00.
Records. It has been said that probably the most important element in the administration of a Water De- partment is the maintenance of accurate records. It is the belief of the Commissioners that serious consideration should be given in the near future to the preparation of a comprehensive map of the system, together with de- tailed maps of the business, residential and rural areas, to appropriate scales, due to the growth of the system and in order to consolidate the many existing records and maps into a more usable and permanent form.
It is estimated that the financial situation in 1962 will be approximately as follows. Figures are given to
163
the nearest hundred dollars. No allowance is made for special articles which, should they be voted at the 1962 Town Meeting, will reduce the indicated surplus.
