SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT:
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN : - I submit my report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1904.
POND.
The pond has been regularly inspected during the year. Its shores have been kept clean and notices have been posted in con- spicuous places warning the public against committing any nui- sance. All the camps and cottages were visited and their sani- tary conditions were thoroughly investigated. The prohibiting of all boating and fishing without a license has resulted in keep- ing from the pond an undesirable element, which was not liable to respect common sanitary precautions. I do not think any more cottages or camps should be allowed on the shores of the pond and the rules and regulations regarding them should be strictly enforced. It may be necessary in the near future to adopt additional precautions to prevent any possible pollution of the water, as no steps should be neglected to keep the supply pure and wholesome.
It will be necessary to have new screens in the gate-house this year, and the dam on Randolph street needs slight repairs.
PUMPING STATION.
The buildings and grounds are in good condition, with the exception of the coal shed, which needs a new sill. Some changes could be made in the construction of this shed which would make a material saving in the unloading of the coal.
The pumping machinery has received the usual careful atten- tson and is in good condition.
Among the improvements I will mention are the installing of electric lights and the setting of the new 100 horse-power boiler which will be ready for use in a few weeks. This boiler will run the entire plant and should prove more economical than using two boilers as in former years. The old boiler may be con-
250
de nned in the near future; when this occurs it will be necessary to purchase another boiler, as in case of accident it would not be safe to depend on one boiler.
STAND PIPE.
The stand pipe was cleaned and painted on the inside, with two coats of water-proof paint, the work being done by the em- ployees of this department. The board walk around the top of the tank is in a dangerous condition and should be repaired at once.
MAINS.
The mains have been regularly flushed. There have been no extensions larger than two inches the past season. I have to report but one leak. Cause, 6 inch plug blowing out of branch in main on River Street.
HYDRANTS.
The hydrants have all been painted, repacked and oiled. Dur- ing the extreme cold weather of the past year, they required a great deal of attention, every precaution being taken that they were in good working order.
GATES.
The gates have been inspected and are in good working order.
ELECTROLYSIS.
Reference to this subject was made in the report of 1902, but as the conditions still exist, will again call your attention to the matter. There is no doubt of the distructiveness of the escaping electrical currents from the street railway tracks to the water- mains. In the present trolley system, the current is returned to the power station, by the rails. These rails are in contact with the earth, in which there is more or less moisture with the water pipes in close proximity, that in many cases, offers a better con- ductor than the rails themselves ; consequently the electrity uses the mains, causing rapid corrosion. We have no idea of the ex- tent of this corrosion, or its location ; until the mains become so weakened, that a break may occur where least expected and cause serious damage. Experiments have proven that the damage is done where the current leaves the mains, these danger- ous places can be located by a competent electrical engineer and
251
at these points the pipes can be excavated and the extent of the damage may be determined. This question is being seriously considered by water departments all over the country and it seems that some precautions should at once be adopted.
From this year's report of the Cambridge Water Board I will quote in part as follows :
" The action of the electric current (liberated in the ground by the operation of the Boston Elevated Railway Co.,) upon the main pipes, has caused rapid deterioration, resulting in many instances in complete perforation of the pipe, thereby causing leaks which appeared at the surface of the ground.
The forty-inch steel main in Huron Avenue, has been exposed for a long distance, and repairs have been made as well as pos- sible, the holes being filled with plugs, secured by straps; and while the pipe was exposed photographs were taken and copies may be found with this report. For a more detailed statement the board refer to the report of the Electrical Engineer employed to consult with and advise the Board, also to the report of the Superintendent, both printed herewith. Some method of relief must be devised, if the iron and steel pipes in the ground are to be saved from destruction.
SERVICES.
During the past winter a great deal of inconvenience and expense has been caused by the freezing of the service pipes. The unusual length and severity of the cold weather caused a great deal of trouble to the water taker and to the department. Have adopted the lead lined service pipe during the season, this is an iron pipe with a lead lining and is considerably cheaper, both in first cost and construction.
It probably will be necessary to relay very soon all of the old iron services, which were put in when the works were first con- structed. They are all nearly filled with rust.
Twenty-two leaks have been repaired during the year. Fifty new service pipes have been laid and forty-five old service pipes have been relaid as follows :
20 2-inch lead 430.0 feet
2 1-inch lead
72.0 “
5 2-inch galvanized iron .
4 1-inch galvanized iron .

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
JANUARY 1, 1905.
To the Board of Water Commissioners and Supt. of Water Works :
GENTLEMEN : -- I herewith submit my report of operations at pumping station for the year of 1904. General repairs and im- provements have been made by me during the past year as per following. Engine room walls were painted, ceiling painted, floor finished and painted and matting put down, water-ends and connecting pipes of large pumps painted ; the whole making a decided improvement in appearance.
Boiler-feed pumps were taken out of fire-room and placed in condenser room, thereby escaping all coal dust and ashes, and exhaust piped to condensers.
Repaired leak in jacket on one cylinder of Deane engine, and put on new throttle valve on same.
Repiped some piping which had given out and as it became necessary.
Fire-boxes required slight patching on one boiler only.
Made foundation for support of rear wall of new boiler setting.
During the year hard coal screenings were introduced and used in conjunction with soft coal, and proved economical.
The following records of both engines show an improvement in efficiency over previous year (except for months marked *) when Deane engine was pumping direct into mains.
Yours respectfully,
C. B. KLINGEMANN,
Engineer.
