EXPLANATORY NOTE.
The systematic examination of the water supplies of the State was begun June 1, 1887, and has been continued up to the present time. The results of the investigations made during the first years were published in a special report of the Board upon the Examin- ation of Water Supplies (1890), and of those made during suc- ceeding years in the annual reports of the Board beginning with the 1890 (Twenty-second Annual) report.
The special report contains a description of each of the water supplies in the State existing at the date of that report, and the annual reports contain descriptions of new works and changes in existing works.
In all of these reports an alphabetical arrangement by towns has been adopted. Sources of water supply are tabulated under the name of the town supplied, other waters under the name of the town in which they are situated. The analyses of water from the larger rivers not used as sources of water supply are given in a subsequent tabulation, headed "Examination of Rivers."
The method of making the chemical examinations remains un- changed, and the results are presented in the tables of this report in the same form as in the last one.
The samples of water are usually received at the laboratory from twenty-four to forty-eight hours after collection. All surface water and such samples of ground water as contain suspended matter are filtered through filter-paper before determining the color, the residue on evaporation and the albuminoid ammonia in solution. Some ground waters which are perfectly clear and colorless when drawn from the ground become turbid and colored on standing, in consequence of the oxidation of the iron which they contain. In these waters the reisdue on evaporation is deter- mined without filtration, since this iron is an essential and not an. accidental ingredient in the water. In the changes which accom- pany the oxidation of the iron in waters of this character, they be- come first cloudy (well described by the word milky) and finally deposit a precipitate of oxide of iron. In the cloudy condition they have a distinct color, which while it does not have the same significance as in the case of surface waters, and is only a passing
105
phenomenon, is, nevertheless, of interest as showing a color which the water may assume while the oxidation of the iron is in pro- gress. When the iron is all oxidized and precipated the water may become colorless again. Explanatory notes will be given for waters of this kind in connection with the tables of analyses.
The color of water is expressed by numbers which increase with the amount of color. The standard used is nesslerized ammonia, as described on page 531 of the Special Report upon the Examin- tion of Water Suplies, 1890, and on page 329 of the Annual Report for 1892. Boston water, as drawn from a tap at the Institute of Technology, had an average color in 1895 of 0.72. Other water supplies in the State have had an average color of from 0 to 1.30.
In cases where examinations of a source have been made with considerable regularity for several years, the averages of the chemical anlyses of each year are given.
There was no change in the method employed in miscroscopial examinations of water between Nov. 6, 1890, and Dec. 1, 1895. The method employed between those dates is fully described in the Twenty-third Annual Report of the Board for the year 1891 (pages 395-421). Before Nov. 6, 1890, the methods employed were less perfect, so that a smaller proportion of the total number of organisms present in the water was separated from it and observed under the microscope; and, before drawing conclusions from a comparison of the miscroscopial examinations of waters made before and after this date, the explanatory note on page 70 of the Twenty-second Annual Report for 1890 should be read.
Since Dec. 1, 1895, the method for the microscopical anaylsis of water has been considerably improved by discarding the ordinary glass funnels previously employed and substituting funnels which have been constructed with stems of equal calibre, to give equal rates of filtration, and with steeper sides, so that the organisms which are of a gelatinous character will be less liable to adhere to the sides of the funnel." By the use of these funnel variations in the number of organisms found, which may be caused by dissimilar slopes of the sides of the funnels and unequal rates of filtration, are avoided.
To indicate the amount of the so-called Zoöglæa observed, the number of individual masses is not counted, but the area equal to
106
2,500 square mircrons, or .0025 square millimeters, has been adopted as an abitrary unit.
In publishing the results of the microscopical examinations the same system is followed as last year. The plants observed are classified in four groups, viz : Diatomaceæ, Cyanophyceæ, Algæ, and Fungi. The animals observed are grouped as Rhizopoda, Infusoria, Vermes, and Crustacea.
The names of the different genera in each group are given with the numbers of each per cubic centimeter, except that, to avoid making the tables excessively long, they are omitted when present only in very small numbers. It is not feasible to make with regard to omissions a single rule which will apply to all cases, because it is desirable to include smaller numbers of animals than plants, and of the larger animals, than of animals generally. More- over there are exceptional cases in which it is desirable to indicate the presence of even very small numbers of the more important plants or animals. Two general rules, however, have been adopt- ed in printing the results, viz. :-.
1. All genera of plants are included in which the total number observed in twelve months amounts to 6 or more per cubic centi- meter, or, in other words, averages as much as 0.5 per month.
2. All genera of animals are included in which the total num- ber observed in twelve months amounts to 1.5 or more per cubic centimeter.
The larger microscopic animals, such as some of the Crustacea, are included, even when present only in very small numbers.
Fractions are generally omited from the table, the nearest whole number of organisms per cubic 'centimeter being given. Where the total number of organisms observed is 0.5 or less, the fact that the organism was present is usually indicated by the abbreviation "pr.," but in the case of the larger organisms very small fractions are given.

IMPROVEMENTS.
There has been a 10-inch gate placed in main at corner of Washington and Elm streets, on south line of Elm street. This gate gives us the benefit of repairing our system north of this point. Before this gate was put in we could not make any repairs in the main line between Hollis avenue and Storrs square without using the Weymouth water. In making the above change we were compelled to use the Weymouth water,

In regard to pumping we have had the same difficulty the past season as we have had heretofore, our lift has been from eighteen to twenty feet and upwards, it has caused the pumping machinery to labor under a great disadvantage, which of course adds to the cost of pumping.
Nevertheless the repairs which have been made on the pumps in the past have proven very satisfactory.
PUMPING STATION.
The floor of the engine room is very badly decayed, it should be renewed at the very earliest opportunity.
The chimney should be retopped as the wind has blown the cap or covering from its top, also a few of the top courses of brick.
BOILERS.
The boilers are in first class condition. The piping, fittings and guages are also in good repair.
The inside walls of boiler settings are in need of attention, as they have become burned out and badly sprung.
PUMPS.
The high pressure pump has been overhauled and put in good condition. The suction to this pump has been arranged to enable us to run the pumps independently, thus giving us an opportunity to pump from the gallery with one pump, and at the same time from the wells with the other, also in making this change we have accomplished the method of pumping out the gallery at any time which affords the privilege of cleaning or washing out the gallery, also it gives us the advantage of two feet more water from the gal- lery than we have ever been able to get heretofore. I should recommend the water plungers of the low pressure pump being renewed as they have become very badly worn and grooved so that it is very expensive to keep them packed properly. If this be done I should advise making the plungers a little larger which will add to the capacity of the pump.
114
After having made the above changes which I have referred to, I would recommend taking up enough of the unused twelve inch pipe to run from the pumping station to Tremont street which would give us a better distribution between the station and that point. It would relieve us of an increased friction which we now get when running both pumps. In my judgement it would be a step in the right direction to an independent supply to the stand pipe via Tremont street which would then give us a ten inch and a twelve inch supply to the stand pipe. One or the other could be used in case of repairs to a great advantage.
HYDRANTS.
We have taken out and repaired seven hydrants the past sea- son ; there are still a few more which need attention.
I find it a mistake to allow the hydrants to be used for any other purpose than fire protection.
I would recommend the putting in of stand pipes for the pur- pose of filling watering carts, and a connection on the same for filling the road roller, thus obviating the difficulty which arises from the common use of the hydrants.
GATES.
We have had but very little trouble with gates the past season. There has been but four leaks of the sarne which was brought about by the packing being decayed.
MAIN LEAKS.
We had three leaks on main pipes this season, but little damage was done by the same. One on Adams Street bridge crossing, caused by settling of pipe and jar from cars crossing bridge. One on Pond Street, poor joint, leak very slight. One on Washington Street, which was a very bad break in the main, causing a great loss of water, caused by flaw in pipe, possibly a partial water hammer on same.
115
SERVICE LEAKS.
There has been but few leaks on services this season, three of which were lead connections on corporation cock, and three side- walk stops.
SERVICE REPLACED.
We have taken out two service pipes in street of enameled iron and replaced the same by lead, the iron had become corroded and was condemned. I find that this trouble is becoming more frequent.
STAND PIPE.
The recommendations mentioned last year in regard to stand pipe repairs have been carefully carried out. The stand pipe has been painted two coats inside and one coat outside. The pipe was very carefully scraped inside and out before painting. All leaks were made tight. The overflow pipe on the inside was changed to prevent the ice from destroying the braces and pulling of the pipe apart. The ladder on the inside was also rebuilt and newly braced, as the ice had carried it away.
There was a 12-inch gate put in the main pipe to the stand pipe to shut off the same in case of repairs ; also the overflow pipe was connected to the drain running to Clay swamp. This overflow is also connected in a manner which makes it a blow-off or flush pipe for the stand pipe which can be used at will.
During the repairing of the stand pipe it was found very neces- sary to partially fill the stand pipe, which was of a great disad- vantage. To overcome this difficulty in the future we thought it expedient to put a band around the pipe part way down from the top to receive wire guys for the purpose of steadying the pipe.
During the repairs of our stand pipe we were troubled by high winds which caused ns to take the above precaution.
DAMPER REGULATOR.
I would recommend the purchasing of a damper regulator. By its use it would enable us to save from & to 10 % of fuel with
116
proper attention. It would add to the life of the boilers, as there is not the same opportunity to admit the cold air to the boiler, causing extreme contraction which is detrimental. By its use the steam pressure is at all times practically the same, which allows the pumping machinery to maintain an even speed.
ELECTRIC WATER GAUGE.
. I recommend that a telemeter be attached to the stand-pipe to enable the Engineer to determine the height of water in the stand-pipe. Under the present conditions it is impossible, while the pumps are working, to ascertain the exact height of the water.
Respectfully submitted.
