The raising of the bridge on Stevens street necessitated a change of the six-inch pipe at that point. It was taken off the bridge floor and relaid on the outside girder on the north side of the bridge.
A systematic examination of the main pipes has been made. A number of hidden leaks were discovered and re- paired, materially decreasing the consumption of water. Complaints of lack of pressure have been numerous. Every complaint has been investigated. In many cases the trouble has been in the interior pipes and fixtures. Where there has been stoppage in the service pipe, the pipe has been cleaned or a new service put in.
The sills and floor of the coal shed have rotted away and the dumping platform is in a dangerous condition. Tem- porary repairs at least will be required before any large amount of coal can be put in.
Sewers
There was no call for common sewers during 1903.
Twenty-three applications for house connections were re- ceived and 23 connections laid.
Length of connections laid during 1903, 1204 feet.
Total length of house connections in service, 25163 feet.
Total number of applications received, 408.
Total number of connections in service, 390.
The operation of the sewer system has caused very little trouble. Complaints were received early in the year of noise occasioned by the motor pumps on the low level systems. This trouble has been remedied.
The removal of sludge from the settling tank at the filtra- tion area becomes necessary at such short intervals as to fully tax the capacity of the sludge during continued wet weather. The filter beds are ample in area for a long time to come, but the discharging of sludge on them would seriously diminish their capacity and increase the cost of
28
their maintenance. I therefore recommend that the ques- tion of constructing an additional sludge bed receive your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN E. SMITH.
ANDOVER, MASS., Feb. 2nd, 1904.
