This shows a saving of $3,530.22 for the independent outlet in eastern section alone. To this must be added the saving on Humphrey street in central section of $5,156, making a total of $8,696.22. If, however, the town of Marblehead pays half the cost of the outlet, then there is a saving of $22,628.50 over the other plan for this independent outlet for Swampscott alone.
The situation as regards Marblehead is as follows :
On January 21, 1907, I made a report to the Sewerage Com- mittee of Marblehead involving a complete study of that town in regard to sewage disposal and a sewerage system. This report on pages 36 to 38 treats with the western section of Mar- blehead lying adjacent to Swampscott and embracing Clifton and Clifton Heights. The area of this Marblehead section is 554 acres, or nearly the same as the area in Swampscott draining to this common point of collection. The situation on the Marble- head side of the town line is identical with that on the Swampscott side. The sewage of this section, if it is not dis- posed of by an independent outlet, must either be pumped over into the central section of the Marblehead system or else con- veyed in part by an intercepting sewer and pumped in part as provided for in the Swampscott plan. It is shown that at least $20,000 can be saved by the town of Marblehead if the inde- pendent outlet is put in, and if a union with Swampscott is effected then the saving will be at least $33,800 when both towns share the expense of the outlet works used in common.
These facts led me to recommend to the Town of Marblehead that the two towns unite in a common outlet off Ram Island and share the expense in proportion to the areas drained. It has already been stated that the area in Swampscott is 600 acres and
266
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
that in Marblehead is 554 acres, or substantially the same areas in each town. This would substantially divide the cost equally between the towns for a substantially equal service.
A brief consideration of this situation will show that it is greatly for the interests of both towns to unite in providing for sewage disposal for this territory. Naturally the area is in one drainage district. and except for the artificial boundary line between the towns there is no feature which prevents this being treated in a natural and logical manner. This boundary feature need not and should not subject both towns to a great additional expense of at least $56,000 as has been shown and can be simply and easily met.
Legislation permitting the Towns of Swampscott and Marble- head to so unite can be obtained by the desire of both towns being so expressed, and an agreement entered into which will be mutually beneficial and satisfactory. With the united petition of the two towns there should be no difficulty in obtaining the State Board of Health's sanction to a suitable outlet off Ram Island.
This is not new to Marblehead, as is indicated by the report of 1907 before referred to, and has therefore had some con- sideration.
A plan of this territory in both towns is submitted with this and shows the situation with location of the proposed sewers and the union outlet. I recommend that the Town of Swamp- scott confer with the Town of Marblehead, and if possible bring about this union for the two areas naturally draining to the out- let proposed, as such a union is plainly to the great benefit of both towns.
As has been elsewhere indicated, if this eastern section of Swampscott is not to be provided for by this independent outlet then a somewhat expensive sewer must be provided as an inter- cepter for a large part of the section. This is indicated on the plans already in your office. If, however, the sewers in this section are led into this proposed independent outlet, then there are important changes in sizes. grades and construction details from that required in the present plan.
These changes are shown to a considerable extent on the plan submitted with this report. The most important change lies along the route of the proposed intercepting sewer on Humphrey street, Atlantic avenue and Ocean avenue. As there is a demand for a sewer over a portion of Humphrey street from the receiving basin towards Atlantic avenue. it becomes important to determine
267
WATER AND SEWERAGE REPORT.
1912]
in the near future which plan shall be adopted. The intercepter sewer for this location is 15 inches in diameter and laid at a depth sufficient to bring in the territory beyond. If laid only to provide for Humphrey street to the divide and the streets naturally tributary, the size will be 8 inches. The cost of the 15-inch intercepter is estimated as . $13,708 00 The cost of the 8-inch local sewer is, 8,552 00 Making a difference of $5,156 00 or a saving on this sewer alone. Before the Town starts to lay a sewer on Humphrey street at this point, it is therefore advisable to determine the plan for ultimate disposal of this eastern section. With this statement and plan, the Town is in a position to make this determination and take up the question of a union outlet with Marblehead if this is desired.
To summarize briefly the result of this study is as follows :
A union outlet at Ram Island will cost about . $27,725 00
If equally shared by the towns the cost to each will be ·
13,862 50
If such a union outlet is adopted the town of Swampscott will save about .
over the cost of bringing this into the present outlet at Dread Ledge. The Town of Marblehead will save over the cost of taking its sewage to the Tinker's Island outlet.
22,600 00
33,800 00
This makes a total saving of .
$56,400 00
Respectfully submitted,
E. WORTHINGTON, Civil and Consulting Engineer.
December 3, 1912.
We recommend the Town take some definite action this year on this proposition, so the Board will know what to do regard- ing disposal of sewage in that part of the Town between Phillips' corner and the pumping station.
