· BONDED DEBT
The Bonded Debt of the Water Department was $10,000.00 on January 1, 1941. During the year 1941, this obligation was discharged and the Department starts the year 1942 free from debt.
REVENUE
The total collection for the year 1941 amounted to $48,123.87, subdivided as follows:
Plymouth System $41,626.61
Manomet System 6,497.26
$48,123.87
PIPE LAID
Considerable new work was done during 1941 in re- placing old pipe and new extensions.
The old 4-inch pipe on Whiting St., between South St. and Mt. Pleasant St. was replaced with 1,210 feet of 6-inch.
An old 6-inch pipe on Allerton St., from the residence of Harry Holmes to Samoset St., and another section on
-95-
Samoset St., between Allerton St. and Oak St. was re- placed with 1,860 feet of 8-inch.
An extension of 2,725 feet of 6-inch pipe was made on Bartlett Road, Manomet, to connect with the new driven well system at Warners Pond.
Malaguti Bros. opened a new street, Olmsted Terrace so-called, between Court St. and Standish Ave., and 535 feet of 6-inch pipe was laid in it.
All the above work except the pipe laid on Olmsted Terrace and Sims Rd. was carried out as a WPA Project. The Town furnished and laid the pipe and the Federal Government furnished the labor for trenching.
FINANCIAL
It is very gratifying to the Water Commissioners to be able to report that for the first time in more than forty years the Water Department finds itself free from debt.
During 1941, the last payment of $10,000.00 was made . on a $90,000.00 issue that was made in 1932 to finance the construction of the Manomet Water System.
Notwithstanding that the Department appears to be in an enviable financial condition, the Commissioners feel that in view of the National crisis it is important that the expenditures for the ensuing year should be limited to the most necessary activities.
The revenue of the Department has shown a steady increase from $44,185 in 1938, to $48,123 in 1941, an aver- age annual increase of about $1,000.
WARNERS POND AUXILIARY SUPPLY
In report of 1940 it was recommended that a supple- mentary water supply in Manomet be obtained by de- veloping a ground water supply on the shore of Warners Pond.
Test wells that had been driven in this locality indi- cated that a good supply of water of satisfactory quality (analyzed and favorably reported on by the State Depart- ment of Health) could be obtained here.
The Commissioners recommended an appropriation of $7,000.00 to develop a supply at this place, and the Town voted favorably on it at the regular March meeting.
The land on which the wells were driven and station built was owned by Porter Harlow, and was purchased from him by the town for $500.00, together with a right
-96-
to lay a water pipe over a right of way to Bartlett Road.
The area of the parcel purchased was 0.8 of an acre, with a frontage on Warners Pond of 250 feet.
Bids were asked for the construction of a 16 x 16 feet brick pumping station, with the following results.
Louis Cotti & Son $1,417.00 J. Malaguti & Son 998.00
F. J. Gilbert 835.00
The building contract was awarded to F. J. Gilbert for the amount of $835.00.
A 25 HP International gasoline engine, belt connected to a 150 G. P. M. Deming centrifugal pump were pur- chased from the Aetna Engineering Co., together with a priming tank and connection for $644.00.
All work of driving the wells, laying the suction main, setting up pump and engine, and getting the unit ready to operate was done by the regular men of the Water Department, with four extra laborers part of the time to help with well driving.
The laying of 2,700 feet of 6-inch main from the station to the end of the 6-inch line on Bartlett Road was carried out as a WPA Project.
Tests made upon completion of the work indicated that the pump could be operated at a rate of 150 G.P.M., with a 20-inch vacuum and dynamic head of 140 feet.
Some of the work of grading still remains to be done and a balance of $104.84 remaining of the original appro- priation of $7,000.00 will permit this to be accomplished.
With this auxiliary supply in operation during periods of heavy draft in Manomet in the future, it will no longer be necessary to use the booster pump on the Shore Road that has been used at intervals the past four summers. During the summer of 1941, this pump ran 611 hours, and pumped approximately 3,666,00 gallons.
LAND PURCHASE
The Water Commissioners are of the opinion that the Town should begin to acquire land around the shore of Little South Pond as opportunity offers, with the thought in mind that eventually the whole shore of this pond would be Town owned and controlled.
This would assure much better sanitary control of the water shed around this pond and materially assist in safeguarding the purity of the suppply.
-97-
With this thought in mind, we recommend an appro- priation of $3,000.00 for the purchase of two parcels near the screen house at the Little South Pond intake.
The requested appropriation of $26,000.00 for Mainten- ance is $1,000.00 more than was requested in 1941, this additional $1,000.00 will be used for purchase of some 8-inch and 10-inch pipe, hydrants and some repair sleeves in various sizes, to be kept in stock, in case of an emerg- ency.
The $3,000.00 for Construction is to take care of the most important request that come in for extensions or necessary renewals.
In order to take additional precaution, in case of an emergency, we are asking for $2,000.00 to cover the fol- lowing items:
Fence around Pumping Station
Portable, motor driven, centrifugal pump, about 300 g.p.m. capacity
Portable Chlorinating outfit (in case it became neces- sary to get a temporary supply of water from some source other than South Pond.)
We, therefore, recommend the following appropriation for 1942:
Maintenance
$26,000.00
Construction
3,000.00
Land Purchase
3,000.00
Emergency Equipment
2,000.00
$34,000.00
Salary Increases, if Granted
1,706.00
$35,706.00
