WEYMOUTH, December 31, 1899.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN,-I submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1899.
POND.
During the winter and early spring water was wasted over the dam for the purpose of keeping the water out of the swamps for the benefit of the quality of water. Although it has been excep- tionally dry this season the water has not been any lower than it was Oct. 15, 1886, and Oct. 3, 1890. On August 10th the water in pond reached the point of 5 feet below full pond, and from then until Sept. 20th did not lower a fraction of an inch. On Sept. 20th we had a heavy rain which raised the water in pond 6 inches.
The spillway at the dam has been newly planked. Samples of water have been sent to the State Board of Health for examina- tion, and the results of same will be found following this report.
PUMPING STATION.
No repairs, with the exception of a few valves and springs, have been needed either on the pumps or boilers. The Hartford Boiler Inspection Co. reports, show our boilers to be in good re- pair both externally and internally.
STAND PIPE.
On October 18th the water was drawn out of the stand pipe and the sides thoroughly scraped and brushed, after which it was painted with two coats of water-proof paint.

29
MAINS.
The mains have caused but little trouble in the way of leaks. Eight leaks have been found and repaired, ouly one of them being of any size, this was in a 10-inch pipe at the corner of Pleasant and Water streets, which was a cracked spigot, and, probably, dates back to the time of handling the pipe before it was laid.
HYDRANTS.
Three new hydrants have been set this year as follows : One in private way off Bay View street, one on Main street, and one on Hillcrest Road, making the total number now in use 370.
Three hydrants have been found leaking and have been re- paired, one on Front street in front of Mrs. Dennis Burns' house, two on Washington street, one opposite Prospect street, and one opposite the Samuel Curtis estate. Cause of leaking due to im- proper use by some one. One hydrant has been moved back in front of John F. Dwight's place, Summer street.
GATES.
The gates are in fair condition. All poor wooden boxes have been replaced with iron boxes.
SERVICE PIPES.
Fifteen leaks have been repaired during the year.
Seventy-four new service pipes have been laid and thirty old services have been re-laid, as follows :
