REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT


There has been a steady increase in the number of patrons during the year, but three of the larger users of water have given up private sanatoriums and the income from these places is less than in the past.


The supply pipe running up Edson Avenue, is insufficient for the number of patrons, and as there is property that needs fire protec- tion on this line, it is no more than right to put in larger pipe and hydrants for fire protection.


There is also need of another hydrant on Maple Avenue, in the vicinity of the houses of William White. It is recommended that the town vote to appropriate, out of the income of the Water De- partment, a sum sufficient to do this work.


There are now 60 meters used by 59 patrons, and 52 connections of patrons paying for unmetered water. It would be best if every consumer would have a meter installed.


According to the record of Edward Viner, Engineer at the Pump- ing Station, there was pumped during the year 36,145,864 gallons.


The largest amount pumped in any one week was in the second week in July, 1,024,576 gallons In any one day, March 12th, 276,716 gallons, (at the time of the Prospect House fire.)


The meters at the Sanatorium registered 20,067,102 gallons. About 3,200,000 gallons through meters of town patrons.


Allowing 8% for slip of the pump, it is estimated that 33,254,187 gallons actually pumped into the stand pipe, deducting what was metered leaves about 10,900,000 gallons used by patrons paying flat rate, watering troughs, public building and other public purposes.
