Water Commissioners AND

Town of Plymouth Massachusetts

FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31 1952
-234-
NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners presents its Ninety- Eighth Annual Report covering the year 1952.
The total rainfall during the year amounted to 45.79 inches. This is about an average total amount but the precipitation was very small during some months.
The elevation of the water in Great South Pond at the end of each of the last five years has been as follows:
1948
104.55
1951 102.25
1949
103.20
1952
102.80
1950
102.25
A full pond is considered elevation 106.00 which has not been reached since 1941.
The greatest amount of water pumped at the Lout Pond Station in any one day was 2,057,000 gallons, on July 16, 1952, when pumps operated 201/4 hours. The tabulation of the pumping at this station and the Deep Water and Manomet Stations appears on a following page.
The total pumped at Manomet was 32,721,700 gallons, which was a large increase over the total of 19,870,000 gallons pumped in 1951. The greatest amount pumped in any one day was 741,100 gallons, on July 15, 1952.
The amounts received by the Town from the sale of water, connections to new mains, services rendered, etc., were as follows:

New Ground Water Supply
We, again, ask the Town for funds to develop a new supply of ground water at the location near Lout Pond as referred to in our report of 1951.
The experience of the last few years, and the low level of the ponds which have been reached, furnish ample evidence that an additional supply is urgently needed.
The appropriation requested is for the construction of the well, with the necessary small observation wells, pumping tests, engineering services, etc.
If the well meets our requirements and those of the Department of Public Health, a further appropriation will be asked for in 1954 to provide for the necessary pump, pipes, controls, etc., to place the well in service.
In times of extremely dry, hot weather, the pumps at the Lout Pond Station take the full flow of the water in the supply mains from Little South Pond and there is little or no flow through the Low Service System. When the pond level falls to that which has been reached in several recent years, the flow to the pumps is not suf- ficient to permit them to operate at capacity. This means that the rate of pumping must be reduced at the time when the demand for water is the greatest.
Service to the High Area - Standish Avenue
Several of our recent reports have mentioned the diffi- culties of supplying water at a satisfactory pressure to the high section of Standish Avenue, north of Alden Street, and to the high area to the west on streets which are not now served by our Extra High Service.
Water takers in this area have very poor water pressure and get little or no water during the times of heavy con-
-- 236-
sumption. The situation for these people is really serious. The solution which we recommend is the extension of the Extra High Service System in order that it may serve the area described. This necessitates a new main in Standish Avenue, north of Alden Street, some extensions on side streets and changing connections of some mains and serv- ices from the High Service to the new Extra High Service. This program also necessitates a new and larger tank for this system, with a capacity of 500,000 gallons or there- abouts, as the present tank on the westerly route is too small to adequately serve and provide fire protection for the water takers on this system and the considerable number which should be changed over to it. The water consumption on this system has doubled within the last ten years.
It is not expected that any increase in the pumping equipment at the Deep Water Station, which serves this system, will be required, as the electric pumps which have been installed in recent years should provide all the supply needed if adequate storage is provided.
The estimated cost of this extension of the Extra High Service System and the construction of the tank is $100,- 000.00, an appropriation for which is being requested. The appropriation for the purchase of the land on which to construct the tank is called for in a separate article.
