SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners of the Town of Weymouth :
GENTLEMEN, - The following report of the past year is respect- fully presented. .
The past year, like the two previous ones, has been a year of enlargement of our system, both in mains and services.
We have laid 11,114.5 feet of mains and 3,032 feet of service pipes.
The extention from Liberty Square or Nash's Corner down Main Street to end of pipe formerly laid in Washington Street at Weymouth Landing is what we have been in need of, and think we can make our system more satisfactory to those people living in the southerly part of Ward 3. As our connections are such that, in case the gravity does not give them sufficient water during the season of greatest consumption, we can take such parts as we may deem necessary into the high service.
This gives us two gravity lines from the point where the four- teen-inch line crosses Main Street, and also an additional high service connection with our gravity, either by way of Main Street or by the fourteen-inch main, which I think will be of great advan- tage to the system, and especially in case of accident in our four- teen-inch gravity main between Main Street and Shaw's Corner.
MAINS.
We have had but four leaks in our mains. Two of these were in joints, one a cracked pipe and the other in a hydrant branch, which was caused by the settling of the ground around the hydrant. Cost of repairing the leaks, $27.50
We have taken up six hundred feet of two-inch pipe on Main Street and replaced it with six-inch.
HYDRANTS.
The hydrants have all been carefully examined and found to be in good working order, with the exception of a few in Ward 3,
163
which we found necessary to plug the drips in order to prevent the water from rising in the hydrant nearly to the surface and freez- ing. This is due to the extremely wet season.
Two hydrants have been moved owing to the widening of the street, and two broken by runaway horses .. ..
PUMPING STATION.
The pumps have performed their duty well the past year, but this seems to me to be our weakest point at present, as we are wholly dependent upon one pump and one boiler. I think this is a matter that should be remedied soon, either by an additional pump and boiler or some other means of forcing water into our stand-pipe.
STAND-PIPE.
Last winter, during the extreme cold weather, the ice forming in the stand-pipe tore the centre supply pipe apart in several places. Early in the spring the water was drawn out and the centre pipe all taken down, as it has proved to be impracticable on account of ice ; at the same time the sides and bottom were thoroughly cleaned.
SERVICE PIPES.
We have had ten leaks in our service pipes the past year, and twenty-nine frozen ones, which were thawed and repaired at an expense of $140.40.
One hundred and thirty-two new service pipes have been laid this year, as follows : -
Iron, 98 2-inch .
