Sewer Department.
During the year sewers have been built in the following streets : Part of Redington street, part of Rockland street, Roy street and Melvin avenue, details of which will be found in table following.
We recommend that for this year $5,200 be appropriated for sewer maintenance, and $800 for particular sewers.
At the Town Meeting of April 28, 1913, the question of sewer- age for the eastern end of the Town was referred to a special Committee composed of Aaron R. Bunting, Henry B. Sprague, Oscar G. Poor and the three members of this Board. The report of this Committee will be found following the report of this Board.
The matter of the King street sewer, referred back to this Board, has been investigated, and we find that the cost of this sewer, as estimated by the Town Engineer, will be sixteen hun- dred ($1600) dollars, exclusive of land damages.

Report of Special Committee of Sewerage for Eastern End of Town.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
Your Committee appointed at an adjourned Town Meeting on April 28, 1913, "To consider the extension of the Sewer system in the eastern end of the Town," met and organized by the choice of Aaron R. Bunting as Chairman. During the summer and fall several meetings of the Committee have been held, and the various phases of the matter have been considered. This matter has been considered in years past with a view of follow- ing reports as submitted by Engineer Worthington, which was to have been a gravity system running out by an outfall to Ram Island, and in connection with Marblehead. Your Committee, after several conferences with Marblehead officials, are convinced that it is useless to go any farther along this line. Under the circumstances it developed upon your Committee to study out another plan to accomplish the desired result. At a Town Meeting held on October 10, 1913, the Town authorized an appropriation of ($1,500) fifteen hundred dollars for study and plans by the Town Engineer, whose report follows, together with plan of same.
To the Special Committee "to Investigate the Subject of Sewering the Eastern Portion of the Town" of Swampscott. Aaron R. Bunting, Chairman.
GENTLEMEN, - Responsive to your request for a report on the feasibility and probable cost of a gravity intercepting sewer, vent- ing into the receiving basin at the present pumping station, and for lateral sewers connecting therewith to serve the so-called Central and Eastern Districts of the Town, I respectfully sub- mit the following.
Data gleaned from previous sewerage reports led me to doubt the feasibility of a gravity intercepting sewer. As the districts to be served lie in a valley separated from the district in which the receiving basin has been constructed, and with lowlands at
235
WATER AND SEWERAGE REPORT.
1913]
about the same elevation, it is obvious that the dividing ridge be- tween these valleys must be pierced for laying the pipe in a deep trench, or possibly in a tunnel. I doubted if this pipe could have a gradient sufficient to convey the sewage to the receiving basin with a velocity making the pipe self-scouring. After careful surveys and study I now am convinced that such a gravity sewer is feasible with a permissible gradient and at a cost not prohibi- tive.
The gradient having been fixed, the next factor to be deter- mined is the calibre of the pipe which, of course, should have capacity for prospective as well as present population. In a " separate " system where the intent is to exclude storm and ground water from the sewers, as in Swampscott, the ultimate sewage volume will be dependent practically upon the volume of water delivered to residents by the public water service.
This brings us to an estimate of the ultimate district popula- tion which will receive that pure water and empty it, after defile- ment, into the district sewers. It is difficult to closely estimate that ultimate population except by comparison with other neighboring sections of the country which enjoy equal attractions for settlement, and which have attained a greater development. I have estimated that in the Central District there are 200 acres which, during the next generation, may have a population of 20 residents per acre; in a portion of the Eastern District, 390 acres, with a population of 15 per acre; the remainder of the Eastern District, 210 acres, with 10 per acre, giving a future population in the two districts of 12,000.
The present per capita consumption of water from public sources is about 60 gallons per 24 hours. Under existing con- ditions, which induce the Town authorities to guard against water wastage, it is improbable that this will be exceeded to any marked extent. About one-fifth of that delivered is used on lawns and in other ways, so that it does not reach the sewers, leaving 48 gallons per capita or 573,600 gallons of sewage to be cared for in 24 hours. Two-thirds of this, or 382,400 gallons, will reach the sewers in 8 hours, or 47,800 gallons in one hour. In addition to this more or less ground water will enter them unless, as is not likely, the joints are absolutely sealed against seepage. I have empirically set this constant seepage at 2,500 gallons in 1 hour, making an ultimate maximum flow of 50,300 gallons in 1 hour.
I have tentatively located the intercepting sewer low enough
236
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
to serve the entire area embraced in two districts, yet have kept the main inlet high enough to give a gradient of one foot in 1,000. The two factors of volume and gradient fix a calibre of 15 inches from the main inlet, at the junction of Phillips and Atlantic avenues to the junction of Bates road and Humphrey street, and of 18 inches through Humphrey street to tehe rceiv- ing basin. Until the normal flow half fills the pipe, its velocity will not be sufficiently scouring, therefore, for several years flushing man-holes must be relied upon to remove deposits. If the pumps should be operated so as to keep the normal surface of sewage permanently lower in the receiving basin, this inter- cepting sewer could enter at a lower level, thus increasing the gradient and consequent velocity of sewage flow. In my calcu- lation, the invert is considered as lying at the same level as the invert of the existent western interceptor.
Reference to the accompanying map will show that the 15 inch pipe passes through the dividing ridge at Orient street, there making a cut of about 28 feet, mostly in ledge. Elsewhere the route selected will not encounter any known costly construction, other than may arise from unusual endeavor to secure water tight joints in saturated ground, except in Humphrey street, where considerable ledge cutting is probable.
The main sewer for the Eastern District, practically an exten- sion of the interceptor, I have located along side of the rivulet formerly known as Hawthorne brook, at the rear of the Mostyn street lots. Its flow can be utilized at times for flushing purposes. It may later appear better to locate in Mostyn Street, thus avoiding duplicate piping and some land damage.
In a general way, I have attempted to locate the intercepting sewer where it would best serve the two districts, where deep and costly construction would be minimized, with the lowest land damages and least obstruction and disruption of highways, yet securing the imperative gradient.
Appended is a schedule giving details and estimated cost of the various sewers deliniated on the accompanying map, the total cost being $141,739, of which $45,238 is chargeable to the inter- cepting sewer.
In estimating the probable cost I have used unit prices based upon the average cost of sewers recently constructed in this Town. They exceed average prices reported from other towns and cities where conditions are more favorable. Work of the

scope contemplated in this scheme would warrant expectation of lower unit prices than those prevailing in work of much less magnitude.
Respectfully, (Signed) W. W. PRATT, Town Engineer.
SWAMPSCOTT, MASS., January 14, 1914.
In the report of the Engineer you will notice he estimates expense of the whole plan as a little more than ($140,000) one hundred and forty thousand dollars. Your Committee is not in favor of doing this work all at once, but rather favor the plan of doing a certain amount each year until completed, and there- fore in a following paragraph recommend the amount which we deem necessary to build during this year. This idea has been followed by the Town in different departments during several years past, and has proved successful, and we see no reason why it will not be successful in this case. Another phase of the mat- ter is, that if the whole system is to be put in at once, it will necessitate an immediate increase in the pumping plant at the station. Your Committee is satisfied that the present pumping plant is sufficient to well and ably care for the additional sewer- age coming from as much of this plan as we shall recommend to be installed this year. During the next two or three years it will be absolutely necessary to install new boilers at the station, and we feel that by following out a certain amount of construction each year, at such time as the demand of more pumping capacity is to be met, will be the time of making whatever changes that will be necessary at the station.
Recommendation.
It seems to your Committee that the most urgent need of sewers at present is on Humphrey street, from the pumping station easterly to a point about seven hundred and fifty feet (750) east of Hemenway road. The attention of the Board of Health is frequently called to this locality, the formation of which is rocky, and consequently, cesspools frequently overflow, creating a nuisance on the premises and in the public street. The engineer estimates the cost of this much of the system at about sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000). The construction of

this will be difficult and expensive, as a good amount of it will be in ledge. We recommend that so much of the plan as referred to in the foregoing paragraph be built as soon as it is possible to do so.
