It will be noted that until the loan of $90,000.00 was made for construction of the Manomet System the total debt was only $666.66 and would have been paid off in 1933.
The $90,000.00 loan was made to run for nine years with a rate of interest at 4% and $10,000.00 payable annually on the principal. For the year 1933 there will be a principal payment of $10,000.00 and an interest payment of $3,600.00 on this loan.
The construction work carried out by the Water De- partment during 1932 consisted of laying 1,035 ft of 10" pipe on Summer Street and 2,250 ft of 8" pipe on War- ren Avenue, as explained in the report of the Superin- tendent.
By a vote of the Town on September 12, 1932, the Com- missioners were authorized to construct the Water Sys- tem for Manomet, which has been under discussion for several years.
An appropriation of $90,000.00 was made to purchase material and furnish supervision and labor for laying pipe.
As soon as the appropriation was made bids were asked for furnishing the necessary material for this work and upon receipt of bids, contracts were made with the lowest bidder in each case to furnish the required mate- rial. The list of bidders and prices submitted are shown in the report of the Superintendent.
No new work except that on the Manomet System is contemplated for 1933. Consequently, instead of the maintenance appropriation of $25,775.00 which was made for 1932, we are recommending an appropriation of $22,- 000.00 for 1933, substantially a 15% reduction over the 1932 amount.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM R. MORTON, Chairman, JOHN H. DAMON, RICHARD T. ELDRIDGE, JOHN L. MORTON, FRANK D. BARTLETT, Board of Water Commissioners.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
Gentlemen: In accordance with the custom of this Department, I submit herewith the annual report of the Superintendent of the Plymouth Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1932.

The pipe laying work during the year consisted of re- placing 1,035 feet of low service pipe on Summer Street (in service since 1855) with 10" pipe and laying 2,250 feet of 8" on Warren Avenue along the State Highway from Hotel Pilgrim, southerly, to the Shore Road.
No recommendation is made for any construction work on the old system during the coming year. The activities of the Department will be confined to the construction of the Manomet System and routine maintenance on the old system.
The appropriation for maintenance for 1932 was $25,- 775.00 but since some of our maintenance force will be employed on the Manomet System, I estimate that a maintenance appropriation of $22,000.00 will be sufficient for 1933 which is about a 15% reduction of the amount appropriated for 1932.
RAINFALL
The total rainfall for 1932 was 53.18" which is 0.63" higher than the rainfall of 52.55" for 1931.
The average annual rainfall for a forty-five year period was 45.88" making the 1932 rainfall 7.3" above normal.

POND HEIGHTS AND STORAGE
Plate I is the chart published each year showing the variation in elevation of Great and Little South Ponds and the consequent change in storage volume. Both ponds were about 6" higher on January 1, 1933 than on January 1, 1932, with a resulting increase in storage volume of approximately 50 million gallons.
CONSUMPTION
Plate II shows, graphically, the average daily consump- tion, figured weekly, on the three separate systems sup- plying water to Plymouth, viz .: the Low Service, the old High Service and the new High Service.
The average daily consumption for the year 1932 on the Low Service was 256,000 gallons compared to 284,000 gallons in 1931; for the old High Service, the average daily was 725,000 gallons compared to 715,000 gallons in 1931; the new High Service average daily was 36,000 gallons compared to 35,000 gallons in 1931.
The average daily total consumption for the year 1932 was 1,017,000 gallons compared to 1,034,000 gallons in 1931.
The total consumption for the year was 372 million gallons, which is 5 million lower than the total consump- tion for 1931 and is the lowest since these records have been kept.
HYDRANTS AND GATES
As usual, regular inspection of both hydrants and gates were made during the year with the result that all are giving excellent service.
ANALYSES OF WATER
The State Department of Health has made the usual analyses of samples of water from our source of supply, statements of which are filed in the office of the Super- intendent.
