REPORT OF THE SEWER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Sewer Commissioners respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1937.
Due care has been given to the operation and rmaintenance of the sewerage system, and upwards of a mile of new sewers have been constructed under several W. P. A. projects, labor for which was paid by the Federal government. The installation of house connections has proceeded at a greater rate than in past years, largely because of the special legislation enacted in 1936 whereby property owners were per- mitted to apportion the cost of such connections over a term of ten years.
Considering the building activity in the town and the objectionable sanitary conditions resulting from overflowing cesspools, it is the opinion of the Board that the construction of street sewers, as well as house connections, should be pushed forward at an even more rapid rate than has been the case in the past. With the substantial investment already made in trunk sewers and with annual payments to the South Metropolitan District being based upon the cost of serving the entire town, it would seem essential that every effort should be made to make full use of the Town's main sewers and at the same time secure a fair return on the payments to the Metropolitan District.
On numerous occasions during the past year in- quiries have been made by developers of property as to the possibility of securing sewers for new real es- tate developments. It is known that lack of sewerage
330
facilities in certain parts of the town has discouraged such developments. There is also evidence of an in- creasing demand on the part of newcomers in Brain- tree for houses situated on sewered streets. Adequate sewerage service is frequently considered as necessary as other public services, such as water supply and electricity, particularly in the case of prospective home-owners coming from other towns.
The Board wishes to take this opportunity to ac- knowledge the spirit of co-operation and industry that has prevailed among the employees of the depart- ment during the past year. Appended hereto is the report of the Superintendent of Sewers, George F. Brousseau.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL M. ELLSWORTH, Chairman
DWIGHT A. CHANDLER WALTER E. THOMPSON

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SEWERS
January 3, 1938.
To the Board of Sewer Commissioners,
Braintree, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of the Sewer Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1937. CONSTRUCTION:
A W. P. A. project was started about the middle of January to construct 8-inch sewers in Circuit Road, Bradley Road, Coolidge Avenue and Harrison Avenue. This project employed an average number of 25 men and was completed by the middle of June at a total construction cost of $11,322. The Town's share of this cost amounted to $4,825.
A second W. P. A. project for 8-inch sewer con- struction in Robinson Avenue, Mt. Vernon Avenue, Mt. Vernon Street and Marshall Street was started immedi- ately upon the completion of the first project, using the same crew of men .. There still remains about 400 feet to be laid in Marshall Street. The total construc- tion cost of the project to the end of the year was $16- 528 of which the Town paid $7,185.
A sewer connection to the Penniman School, 683 feet long, was done as a part of a W. P. A. project sponsored by the School Department. This work was completed before the fill from the Union Street under- pass was disposed of on land in the rear of the school. The cost of the sewer connection amounted to $2,673 of which the Town paid $219 from Sewer Department funds and $531 from School Department funds.
Complete cost records have been kept and analyzed for each street to show the quantity of labor, material
332
and equipment entering into the work and the unit cost of doing each classification of work on the above projects. These records, which are on file in the Sewer Department office, indicate a reasonable degree of efficiency has been obtained from the men employed on these projects.
The following is a summary of the sewers con- structed and put into operation this year:

The development of sewers in the Town Brook pumping district has been proposed as a W. P. A. project. The construction of the main, force-main and pumping station sub-structure would employ 70 men for about 512 months. The construction of lat- eral sewers in this pumping district would employ 200 men for about 11 months.

CONNECTIONS:
There were 119 house connections totaling 6515 feet made to the sewer system during the year. These were installed by the Sewer Department at a total cost of $9,524.30.
The total number of connections to the system is now 394.
The actual cost of each connection is billed to the owner of the property. No advance deposit is re- quired. The payment may be apportioned over a period of ten years, and if this is done the apportion- nent with interest at 6 per cent on the outstanding bal- ance appears each year on the tax bill. The first ap- portionments for connections made this year will be on the 1938 tax bills.
The Sewer Department is glad to give anyone an estimate of the cost of a house connection. There is no charge for this service, and there is no rental charge for the use of the sewer after a connection is made.
MAINTENANCE :
Uninterrupted flow has been maintained in all main and lateral sewers during the year. Periodic in- spections have been made of the main sewer and no evidence of surcharging has been observed. There were, however, two partial blockades in the main, be- tween Pearl and Union Streets and near River Street, which were removed with considerable difficulty. The blockades consisted of several 10-gallon paint pails
334
and sticks of wood which had apparently been thrown in through a manhole. Locking devices are maintained on all manholes through rights of way but these are broken from time to time.
Action of the tide exposed the crown of a short section of the 36-inch main sewer along Gordon Road. This has been capped with concrete and is now in a satisfactory condition. ٤٠
Several large ground water leaks have been re- paired. There are, however, some others that need attention but it is neccessary to wait for a low stage of the river to accomplish this work economically.
The automatic pumping station off Brookside Road in East Braintree has operated satisfactory. Except for one pump clogging, no mechanical or electrical trouble was experienced. The cost of electricity to op- erate the station, including heating, amounted to $94.26. Late in the summer the pumping charts be- gan to indicate an excess flow of sewage. An investi- gation of all connections in the pumping district re- vealed a roof leader and a cellar sump pump con- nected with the sewer. These were ordered removed, and upon their removal the flow became normal.
Construction of the Union Street underpass requir- ed the relocation of part of the sewer in the right of way between Georganna and Union Streets, also below the railroad crossing on Union Street. Relocation plans and specifications were prepared by the Sewer Depart- ment and incorporated into the contract for the under- pass. The relocation work is done by the bridge con- tractor without expense to the Town except for the cost of inspecting the work.

Additional space at the Reclamation Plant in South Braintree was obtained from the New Haven Railroad so that now the Sewer Department's shop, and all equipment and materials are located there. The old fire barn on Hollis Avenue, which was used as a shop for about four years, has been turned back to the Fire Department.
The Department's 11/2 ton dump truck was op- erated a total of 1593 hours at an average cost of $0.95 per hour. The Department's air compressor was operated a total of 1858 hours at an average cost of $1.53 per hour. The above rates include the operator, depreciation, insurance and all other charges neces- sary for operating and maintaining the equipment.
A record was kept of all 2 per cent discounts taken during the year. These amounted to $216.86.
ASSESSMENTS :
There were 7 sewer assessment and record plans prepared covering the work done this year.
There were 116 sewer assessments levied amount- ing to $13,857.14. Bills for these assessments were sent out by the Tax Collector on December 31. The total assessment levy is now $229,524.86.
The total sewer assessment collections to date are $122,912.93. The collections for the year 1937 amounted to $14,035.09.
