The Water Commissioners regret exceedingly to report the death of their Chief Engineer, Frank Schofield, who passed away January 6, 1941. Mr. Schofield came to work for the Department May 2, 1934, and rendered faithful and efficient service. The Commissioners and all his other associates in the Department feel that the Town has lost a valued employee.
BONDED DEBT
The Bonded Debt of the Water Department was $20,- 000.00 on January 1, 1940, and $10,000.00 was paid on the principal during 1940, so we start the year 1941 with a debt of only $10,000.00.
REVENUE
The total collections for 1940 amounted to $46,545.21, divided as follows:
Plymouth System
$40,509.36
Manomet System 6,035.85
$46,545.21
The reduction in the amount of the Manomet revenue from $7,085.45 in 1939 to $6,035.85 in 1940 is due to a re- duction in the minimum rate for Manomet, from $25.00 annually to $16.00 annually.
PUMPING STATION
The Wolverine-Gould at the Lout Pond pumping sta- tion ran 2,9891/2 hours during 1940 and pumped 319,770,000
-91-
gallons of water. The fuel oil consumption was 9,748 gal- lons. The water pumped per gal. fuel oil consumed was 32,800 gals., which is precisely the same as 1939.
NEW ENGINE AND PUMP
The report of the Water Commissioners for 1939 con- tained a recommendation that a new Diesel engine and pump be installed to replace the old Barr steam pump and eliminate the hazard of operating thirty-seven year old boilers.
An appropriation of $7,250.00 was asked for, and allow- ed at the March 1940 Town Meeting, to make such an installation.
A price of $6,100.00 was obtained from the Wolverine Motor Works, Inc., for a 2 Cyl., 4 Cycle Engine and Pump, installed on foundation prepared by Town, a duplicate of the present unit.
The Fairbanks, Morse & Co. offered a 60 HP., 2 Cyl., 2 Cycle Engine and Pump, set up on our foundation, in- cluding cooling system for both engines, for a price of $5,120.00.
The Fairbanks, Morse & Co. proposition was accepted by the Water Commissioners. The engine is now installed and is operating in a satisfactory manner.
PROPOSED NEW WORK
The Superintendent's report shows in tabular form the sizes and lengths of pipe laid during the year 1940 and the cost of material used.
The Commissioners are of the opinion that the develop- ment of a supplementary water supply in Manomet, as mentioned in the report of the Superintendent, is a matter of first importance and, since test wells indicate that a good quality of water can be obtained from driven wells on the site mentioned, we recommend an appropriation of $7,000.00 for the development of this supply.
For the year 1941 we recommend a 6" line be laid on Mt. Pleasant street, between Sandwich and South streets,
-92-
also an 8" line on Russell street, between Allerton and Summer streets and a 6" line on Brewster street, from Court street to Water street.
We recommend an appropriation of $3,000.00 to pur- chase material for the above work and understand that this can be made a WPA project.
Several requests for pipe extensions in proposed new streets and some existing ways in which we have no pipe have been received by the Board the past year and we recommend $2,700.00 to cover these requests.
The Ford Coupe used by the Superintendent was pur- chased in June of 1935 and has been driven 58,684 miles. The cost of necessary repairs to put this machine in safe operating condition for another year would probably be high.
We recommend an appropriation of $550.00 to cover the cost of a new machine.
The following is a summary of our budget recom- mendations for 1941 :
Auxiliary Water Supply System at Manomet $7,000.00
Relaying old 4" and 6" main 3,000.00
Proposed Extensions
2,700.00
Ford Coupe 550.00
Maintenance
25,000.00

MANOMET SYSTEM
The low rainfall of August 1940 of 0.74" made it neces- sary to run the booster pump on the Shore Road for 3421/2 hours during the month to keep the Manomet tank and standpipe properly filled.
In the report of 1939 it was suggested that it would be

desirable to give consideration to the possible develop- ment of an auxiliary supply in Manomet to supplement the supply from the Plymouth system. It would be neces- sary to operate such a proposed system only during periods of drought, when draught on the Plymouth sys- tem was so great that only an insufficient supply could get to Manomet.
The increasing number of consumers in Manomet and the possibility that the rate of increase may be more rapid in the future has led to the study of the develop- ment of a ground water supply.
Test wells have been driven on the shore of Warners Pond which is about 700' north westerly from Fresh Pond. The land on which these wells have been driven is owned by Porter Harlow and he has given assurance that the site we need for this proposed development, to- gether with a right of way to Bartlett Road or Harlow standpipe can be purchased for $500.00.
Measurement of the yield from these wells and analyses of the water made by the Department of Public Health, indicates sufficient water of good quality can be obtained in this locality.
