REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SEWERS
January 3, 1939.
To the Board of Sewer Commissioners
Town of Braintree, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report upon the activities of the Sewer Department for the year ending December 31, 1938.
Construction :
All construction work this year was carried out in conjunction with the W.P.A. at a total cost of $43,043. The Town's share of this cost amounted to $18,024.
The Marshall Street sewer, which had been started in December of the previous year, was finished early in April. Since then all opera- tions have been carried on in the Town Brook Pumping District.
Sewers were constructed in Church Street from Washington to Pleasant and through the traffic intersection near Capen's Bridge before the Highway Department completed the new street layout in that locality. The Common Street sewer was constructed, together with the 10-inch cast iron force main which will serve a new pumping station which will ultimately be built on the south side of Common Street next to the Town Brook. A main line was extended across the meadows between Common and Centre Streets and completed except for the last 433 feet.
The high ground water conditions along the lower end of Com- mon Street and across the meadows made the excavation very difficult and required the use of wellpoint equipment and pumps in nearly continuous operation.
Detailed cost records have been kept for each street showing the quantity and cost of each item of labor, material and equipment entering into the construction work, and the unit cost of each classified according to the various work operations. These cost records are on file in the Sewer Department office and are available to anyone interested.
