SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN : - I submit my report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1905.
POND.
The pond has been regularly inspected during the past year and its shores have been cleaned where necessary. The usual warning notices have been posted and licenses have been granted to proper parties who have used the pond for boating and fishing. The report of the water analysis made by the State Board of Health, shows the water to be of its usual standard of purity.
New screens have been put in the gate house as recommended in last year's report. The dam on Randolph Street needs repairs.
PUMPING STATION.
The new 100 horse power boiler installed early in the year has proven satisfactory. The old boiler has been condemned by the State Inspectors, which will make it necessary that a new one be installed before summer months.
During hot weather the pumps are run to to their full capacity, which shows that a reduction in waste must be made. Many of the water takers have not a suitable pressure for domestic pur- poses caused by the excessive use of water for lawns and other purposes which does not benefit anybody but causes a great deal of unnecessary inconvenience to the public in general ; for this reason I wish to call the attention of the water takers to observe hose regulations.
A new connection has been made between the high aud low service by means of a 10-inch by-pass and a hydraulic valve, which is operated from the station. This gives us two connections ; in case of accident to eitheir the other would be available.
269
STAND PIPE.
Should be painted on the inside; this should be done every year to prevent the erosion of the iron.
MAINS.
The mains have been regularly flushed. The laying of a high service 6-inch main on Broad street, connecting Shawmut street and Hillcrest road is the only extension larger than 2-inch.
I have to report one leak in hydrant joint on Washington street near Federal avenue.
HYDRANTS.
The hydrants have received the usual attention.
T GATES.
The gates have been inspected and are in good working order.
ELECTROLYSIS.
As recommended in the report of last year an examination into the electrolic condition of our pipes has been made. The report of M. A. Carter, Superintendent of Electric Light and Power Company, who conducted this investigation, will be found in full elsewhere.
SERVICE PIPES.
Forty-three frozen service pipes have been thawed out and thirty- seven leaks have been repaired during the year. Seventy-nine new service pipes have been laid and seventy-two old service pipes have been relaid as follows :
