One hundred and eighteen feet of 4-inch pipe was lowered down to conform with change of grade on Franklin Street, at a cost of $51.73.
Street Mains.
The street mains are in good condition. Thirty-one leaks on the mains have been repaired in various parts of the system .. This includes a bad and expensive leak in the 10-inch branch on Summer Street, junction of High, that connects the high
58
and low service, which necessitated shutting off the high service from the south part of the town for a part of four days.
We have not had as many leaks the past year as usual. We had eighty-nine in the year 1888, and fifty-five in the year 1887. The high service has exposed the weak places in the old pipes. The greatest number of leaks have been in the small pipe, 2 and 4-inch. The hydrants and blow-offs have been opened, and the pipes thoroughly flushed.
Service Pipes.
Twenty-five new service pipes have been laid at a cost of $148.18, the total number in use being 1,389, the street length of service pipes being 27,096 feet, one iron service pipe taken out and replaced by lead at a cost of $3.93. No trouble was experienced from frozen service pipes during the Winter. Four leaks have occurred the past year in service pipes; cost of repairs, $12.95.

Gates.
Sixteen new gates, from two to six inches, have been set the past year. The cost of ten of the above gates is included in the cost of the extensions, Six new gates, at street intersections, to remedy the shutting off large sections when repairs are needed, have been placed as follows :
One four-inch set on Franklin Street, junction Mayflower Street, at a cost of $13.78. One two-inch, set on Washington Street, junction Mayflower Street, at a cost of $9.75. One three- inch, set on South Street, north of Mount Pleasant Street branch, at a cost of $11.50. One two-inch, set on South Street, above Mayflower Street branch, at a cost of $13.35. One two-inch, set on South Street, above Whiting Street branch, at a cost of $13.35. One two-inch, set on South District Road, junction Old Sandwich Road, at a cost of $13.20. Total cost of the six gates set, not included in the extensions, $74.93. One old two-inch gate, taken out on South Street, junction Sandwich Street, and replaced by a new one at a cost of $15.10.
Reservoirs.
All underbrush and weeds in the vicinity of the low-service reservoir, have been cut down and removed. I gave the grounds about the reservoir a dressing of Stockbridge Fertilizer, and sowed grass and clover seed on the embankments, which has improved the sod on the slopes of the basin, at a cost of $27.83.
The High-Service Reservoir is in good condition ; the embank- ments and slopes should be covered with soil and sowed with clover and grass seed the coming Spring.
New Takers.
There have been added to the takers this year, twenty-one tenements, twenty-eight water closets, eight bathing tubs, four stables, Plymouth & Kingston Street Railway car house, and the Electric Light Company, with two 120 horse power boilers.
60
Butments at Ponds.
The butment at Little South Pond and well room at outlet of pipe has been repaired, built higher, and long, heavy stones having been laid on top of butment and dogged together, every precaution has been taken to prevent the ice from carrying it away, at a cost of $65.15.
The butment at Great South Pond has been cemented and put in good condition, at a cost of $15.95. The screens have been carefully cleaned from time to time.
Boxes.
Fifty-two service and ten gate boxes have been replaced by new ones, at a cost of $97.30. Iron boxes have been connected with the services put in during the year, when it was considered practicable.
Drinking Fountains and Stand Pipes.
Five drinking fountains have been in use the past year. Three of them are on high-service and two on low-service, and have called for the usual amount of attention and repairs. Four stand pipes have been in use during the Summer season. Three are on low-service and one on high-service.
