The buildings and grounds connected with the pumping station are in good condition, and no repairs have been necessary.
The Blake pump has performed good service during the year, and is in good working order, only a few slight repairs have been needed.
The new Deane pump, which was expected to be in operation by the first of January, has not yet been completed, therefore nothing can be said in regard to its working.
Nothing has been done on our stand-pipe in the way of painting or repairs. It was our intention to paint it [both inside and out this year, but owing to our dependence upon one pump to run day and night, during the time that it would take to do it thoroughly, which would be at least two weeks, we did not deem it"advisable to attempt it until next season, when the new pump would be in operation.
Comparatively little trouble has been experienced the past year with our service pipes, only two leaks having occurred, which were repaired at an expense of $6.00.
One hundred and sixty-two new service pipes have been laid this year as follows : -
