WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
The Municipal Water & Light Commissioners sub- mit their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1928 :
Water Department
The expenditures for the year 1929 are estimated as follows:
For Interest
$ 2,442.50
For General Expenses
11,000.00
For Note Payment
5,500.00
For Hydrant Service
2,220.00
Total
$21,162.50
We would recommend the amount for hydrant serv- ice be raised and appropriated from the tax levy, the bal- ance to be taken from the earnings of the Department.
We would report that a Centrifugal Pump electri- cally driven has been installed in the place of our small steam pump, retaining the large pump as an auxiliary.
We have also installed a Venturi Meter to measure the water pumped. The work of installing the pump and meter was completed the last of June and they have been in operation since that time.
The work at Bull Brook is practically completed with the exception of some small items which will be taken care of as the season opens.
32
WATER AND LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The recommendations for street lights will be found in the Manager's Report.
We recommend that the Electric Light Commission- ers be authorized to use any unexpended balance in the operating account.
This year we have made a start changing our sys- tem of Street Lighting to a series system. Two circuits have been installed covering the business section, North Main, Central, High and cross streets to the overhead bridge. We believe this work should continue until the street lighting system is completed.
With a full year's operation with our new engine in- stalled 15 months ago, we are pleased to report that a substantial saving was made in our generating cost, re- ducing the same from .027 for 1927 to .018 for 1928.
A number of radio complaints have been received by the Department and investigations made. We have checked the same and find most of the interruptions are due to causes foreign to our Department. We would ap- preciate it very much if before calling about radio trou- ble you would inspect and investigate your own local troubles as there are many other troubles outside of the Electric Light to cause local interference.
Should you see or hear of an arc or any wires in trees that would cause trouble we would appreciate it if you would notify this office of the location of the same so we could co-operate with you in checking the same within our jurisdiction.
