SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Public Works :
GENTLEMEN :
In connection with the Water. Highway, Sewer and Park De- partments you will be interested in reviewing a few of the major activities and developments during the year which ended Decem- ber 31, 1931.
One thousand one hundred and fifty-three feet of 6 inch water pipe were laid from the dead end on Tewksbury Street near the property owned by Mr. Dumont to a point on the Tewksbury end of the B. & M. R. R. bridge. The total cost of laying this pipe was $1681.08 which figures approximately $1.46 per foot.
Three thousand three hundred and thirty feet of 6 inch water pipe were installed on River Road from the dead end in front of the property owned by Edward Shattuck to a point near the corner of Brundrett Ave .. and also one thousand three hundred and forty-one feet of 6 inch pipe were laid on Laurel Lane from River Road to the end of Laurel Lane. The total cost of laying the above four thousand six hundred and seventy-one feet of pipe was $6865.33, or approximately $1.47 per foot.
Two thousand nine hundred and seven feet of 6 inch water pipe were installed on River Road from Brundrett Ave. to a point opposite the property owned by Oliver Pike, and one thous- and one hundred and thirty-one feet of 6 inch pipe were installed on Chandler Road from the River Road to a point in front of the property owned by George Disbrow. The total cost of laying the above four thousand thirty-eight feet of pipe was $6403.31 which figures approximately $1.58 per foot.

One thousand feet of 6 inch water pipe were installed from a point on Tewksbury Street south of the B. & M. R. R. bridge to the new Watson Park Co. factory on Lowell Junction Road. It was necessary to cross the Shawsheen River and at certain sec- tions in the way of the River flanged pipe was used. This work was paid for by the Watson Park Co.
Eighteen additional hydrants were installed and twenty-one existing hydrants were relocated on So. Main Street in the way of the new state road that will be constructed in 1932. At inter- secting streets not supplied by water, water mains have been laid in the way of the new road. Incidentally cross connections have been installed in the hydrant branches on the west side of the road so that eventually a six inch water line may be laid from hydrant to hydrant which will be used as a supply line for future construction on the west side. Every water house connec- tion in the way of this road was renewed, thus insuring many years of service especially since extra heavy lead connections have been used to connect the service pipes to the main water line. The above work will preclude the necessity of digging up the new road because of future development. The above work cost $7999.56.
A six-inch water main has been installed under the new By-Pass in the vicinity of Main Street. Because of this installation it will not be necessary to dig up the new road in case it should be found necessary to extend the water main from its present terminus toward the North Reading Line.
A six-inch fire line was installed in the Barnard Building at the corner of Park and Main Streets to supply a sprinkling system.
During the year 1931 three hydrants were broken off due to impact from automobiles. In the replacing of these hydrants, gates were installed on the hydrant branches which will make it possible to shut down more expeditiously in the event of similar accidents.
A hydrant was installed on Lowell Street between the hydrant near the pumping station and the hydrant located near the prop- erty of Joseph Chambers. This provides adequate and convenient

water supply and increased protection in case of fire near any of the neighboring camps.
Many years ago during the extremely cold weather the water main over the Stevens Street bridge was frozen. This section of water main at that time was shut off, both gates on either side of the bridge being closed. This year the broken main has been repaired and covered with felt and canvas to prevent it from freezing.
New boating and fishing permits were printed this year. The section of the old permit which read as follows: "Permission is hereby granted to-of Andover. Mass., to enter upon Hag- gett's Pond for the purpose of Boating and Fishing". ... has been changed to read as follows: "Permission is hereby granted to - a citizen or taxpayer of the Town of Andover, Mass., to enter upon Haggett's Pond for the purpose of Boating and Fish- ing." The new permit is also stamped as follows: "Persons loaning or renting boats are responsible for the same being used by persons with permits only."
The new DeLaval two stage centrifugal pump arrived May 27th and the installation commenced June 1st. The new pump started operations June 13th and the result of a test made June 17th showed that the efficiency of the pump was 81% against a guaran- teed efficiency of 80%.
The reports of Weston & Sampson, Consulting Engineers, in regard to new pumping equipment for the Haggetts Pond Pump- ing Station are as follows: (It will be noted that two conditions are taken into consideration, namely with and without the State School located in Andover. )

GENTLEMEN :
Subsequent to our letter of November 19, 1931, relative to the water supply for the proposed Andover State School, we have conferred with Mr. John J. Van Valkenburgh. engineer for the
6
Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases, as had been sug- gested by Mr. Cline.
The water supply system, as outlined in our report, is acceptable to Mr. Van Valkenburgh with the exception of the water pres- sure. The requirement for pressure is 70 lbs. at a hydrant near the high point of the proposed school site when the reservoir on Wood Hill is filled to the high water level. The elevation of the high point on the proposed site, as shown on the U. S. topo- graphical map, is about 210, resulting in a reservoir flow line of 371, or 62 ft. above high water in your present low service reser- voir. This change in pressure undoubtedly requires a separate high pressure system for the school with an independent supply main on Lowell Street from just beyond the 10-inch branch leading to Osgood Street, to Lovejoy Road. This high pressure system would also serve Lowell Street west of the junction.
The top of Wood Hill is elevation 354 so that a steel standpipe would be more economical than a concrete reservoir, and the cost would be within the $30,000 previously estimated. This increased elevation suggests the practicability of serving the "west district" of Andover, as well as the school, from the same standpipe. In our report of December, 1924, we stated that this district could be adequately supplied by a standpipe with the top at elevation 390, or only 19 feet higher than the proposed standpipe. We feel confident that a compromise could be made in the elevation which would be entirely satisfactory for both purposes.
Additional requirement for pressure results in the following estimated construction cost.
1,500,00 gallon standpipe on Wood Hill $30,000.00
12" Main on Haggetts Pond Road from the north end of the present 10" main on Lowell Street to the standpipe (8,200 lin. ft.) 18,750.00
12" Main on Lowell Street from the junction leading to Osgood Street, to Lovejoy Road (6,050 lin. ft.) 13,750.00 12" Main from the pumping station to the proposed
12" main on Lowell Street (550 lin. ft.) 1,500.00

Additional pumping equipment at Haggetts Pond station 25,000.00
Total construction cost $89,000.00
The construction cost of the system proposed in our letter of November 19, 1931, was $70,000.
The annual cost of supplying 500,000 gallons of water per day to the school is estimated as follows :
Interest on bonds ($89,000 @ 5%)
$4,450.00
Depreciation ($89,000 (@ 7-1/2% )
6,675.00
Extra engineer at the pumping station
