SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


To the Board of Water Commissioners :


GENTLEMEN, - I present the following report of the condition of the works, and the operations of the past year : -


There does not seem to be much that is new to your Honorable Board to present; as you are already familiar with the work under my charge, and the general condition of the affairs of this depart- ment. I have endeavored to report to you at the regular meetings of the board if anything unusual had occurred, and to ask advice. However, it seems necessary to have the proceedings recorded for future reference. I will endeavor to state in a brief report what has been done in this department during the past year.


The average height of the water in Great Pond during the year was one foot five inches below high-water mark; the lowest point reached was four feet eight inches ; this occurred between Oct. 5 and 20.


The greatest number of gallons of water pumped in any one day was July 17, when we pumped for the whole town, from 7 A. M. to 7 P. M., and pumped 1,232,315 gallons ; this was due to the extravagant use of water for sprinkling purposes.


We have assisted Rockland and Abington from our service three times during the past year, which was greatly appreciated by their Water Board.


The pump house and contents are all in good condition.


The Blake pump still continues to perform its usual excellent service, and no repairs have been called for during the year.


The new Deane pump, which was completed and tested on March 10, 1890, has not as yet done its work as satisfactorily as we are in hopes it may after all the parts become perfectly adjusted.


166


The boiler and all other appurtenances which were put in at that time are satisfactory.


On the night of June 1 the water was drawn out of the stand- pipe, and the next day the work of cleaning was commenced. The bottom and sides were thoroughly scraped and brushed, until all accumulations of rust were removed, after which it was painted with two coats of Government Water-proof paint. I would recom- mend that in the future this be done every year, or, at the longest, every two years, which I think is necessary to prevent it from rusting. Nothing has been done to the exterior, but think that it should be painted this coming year.


I would also recommend that the grounds around the stand-pipe be graded and seeded.


There have been 10,814.1 feet of main distribution pipe laid the past season in the streets and private ways, as shown by the table following this report. Seventeen feet of six-inch pipe, previously laid, have been removed, and 887.6 feet of 13-inch and 2-inch pipe has been replaced with 6-inch.


The total length of distributing mains now in use is 50,401 miles. Nine leaks have occurred in the mains the past year ; two of these were done at the time we were painting the stand-pipe, and were caused by the sudden starting and stopping of the pumps while we were pumping direct into the mains, without any relief, except the automatic relief-valve on suction pipe at the pumping station ; two were due to defect in pipe, and the other five were defective joints. Total expense for repairing leaks, $109.59.


The hydrants were all painted last spring, also oiled and ex- amined, and found to be in good working order. This winter they have had the usual inspection, and all necessary repairs made.


One hydrant has been repaired that was broken by a runaway team, and one that obstructed the sidewalk has been moved to the curbstone.


Eleven new hydrants have been set, making the whole number now in use 333.


The gates have all been inspected, and are in good working order.


167


The old wooden gate-boxes are being replaced with iron ones as fast as it is deemed expedient.


Two new drinking fountains have been set the past year, one at Poole's Corner, and one at the junction of North and Church streets.


Five leaks have been repaired in our service pipes, at an expense of $14.75.


One hundred and forty-two new service pipes have been laid this year, as follows : -

Eight services have been shut off this year for non-payment of rates, of which two have been let on by the payment of two dollars and the unpaid rates.


Thirty services are shut off temporarily on account of vacancy.
