Highway Construction


In many areas of Town, the State Highway construc- tion has been completed. In other areas completion is ex- pected early in 1960. During 1959 our line department has completed line construction and changeover because of Highway construction in the following areas: Capen's Bridge, Elm St., River St., Railroad St., Pearl St., and Liberty St., and Granite St.


Areas still under construction are, Union St., and Granite St. (installation of street lights only at Granite St.).


Underground conduits have been installed from Cedar St. and Elm St. through Braintree Square and 1000 ft. on Storrs Ave. This installation is in anticipation of the South Shore Plaza and to obtain a permanent power crossover at Elm St. and the State highway. Underground conduits have also been installed at Capen's Bridge and at the 128, Granite St. Exchange. Conduits will also be installed at Union St. under the State Highway.


Union St. Relocation


Plans for relocation and widening of Union St. from Cleveland Ave. to Liberty St. have been submitted to this Department by the County Engineers. All poles on Union St. will require relocation. This will necessitate replace- ment and rebuilding of our lines over this length of Union St.


South Shore Plaza


Many meetings have been held during the past year with engineers of the South Shore Plaza in order to solve the many problems that exist in serving a development of this type. Many of the problems have been met and solu- tions agreed on such as service voltages, vault locations, duct entrances, duct line easement etc., but many more problems exist that will require considerable engineering time during the coming year.


The duct line from Lakeside Drive across the South Shore Plaza to Granite Street has been installed. Service- at the site has been requested by late August or early September, 1960, with full capacity to be available by March, 1961.


Other areas adjacent to the South Shore Plaza have indicated activity within the coming year and power re-


192


quirements for the areas will be substantial. Development of the Town Distribution System


Rapid development of many now undeveloped areas is anticipated in the very near future. In order to be pre- pared for this development, planning for ways, means and methods of serving these areas in the most efficient man- ner possible are now under consideration. It is expected that a new program, flexible enough to meet all require- ments, will be developed early this year, and that actual installations of much of this equipment will be pro- grammed for the latter part of the year.


A rate increase was put into effect on November 1, 1959 in order to overcome the decreasing rate of return reflected in our previous rates. This decreasing rate of return is shown by the following comparison.

A decreasing rate of return during a period when the cost of generation and delivery is increasing does not tend to place the department in a good sound financial position. An added burden has been placed on the Department fin- ances by the insistance that the Department make some contribution to the Town Treasury. In order to meet this requirement and other obligataions, a rate increase was made effective in our A B and C rates and studies are in progress to increase the Industrial or P rate early in 1930.


When increases were made in the A rate an effort was made to overcome many of the defects that existed in this rate. Thus it is that in our new A rate, the water heater is no longer an " off-peak " or special consideration. Our engineers feel that our rate structure is sufficiently low to consider a water heater an ordinary appliance and con- sideration is given for water heater usage of 250 kwh. per month after customers have used 250 kwh. on the regular A rate.


Total return increase of 4% was anticipated and the first monthly check showed that an increase of 6.4% had been realized. However, this figure will decrease as the:


193


average is taken over a much longer period and 5 to 51/2 % is expected to be the final result of this increase.
