WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
JANUARY 1, 1916.
The Board organized March 9, 1915, by the choice of Frank H. Torrey, chairman ; George E. Bicknell, clerk; John H. Stet- son, treasurer.
Charlotte E. Briggs was appointed clerk at the office.
George W. Sargent engineer at pumping station.
F. H. Torrey register and collector.
Fred O. Stevens superintendent and W. B. Loud officer at the pond, they to receive the same compensation as in 1914.
At a joint meeting of the Selectmen and Commissioners Charles B. Cushing was appointed Town Accountant at a salary of $1100, the Water Department to pay $250, and the Selectmen to pay $850.
The clear and detailed statement of the doings of the past year by the Superintendent in his report leaves but little for us to say. We however desire to call your attention to the fact that it takes money to run this department, and whether the charges be large or small they should be paid upon receipt of the bill "do not let the other fellow pay your bills, pay them your- self" then the wheels of this department will be kept well greased and our bills will be promptly paid.
The fact of our having paid $300,000 of our original water bonds does not relieve us from having a heavy tax on our in- come. Interest charges and serial bond interest and principal becoming due each year will place us under considerable expense until the sinking fund bonds are cancelled in 1921 and it is necessary for us to be very conservative in borrowing for new construction.
We ask for authority to issue and sell $10,000 bonds for con- struction (new).
282
We also ask for appropriation from revenue of amounts as- follows :
Superintendent, maintenance and Pumping Station
$15,000 00
Current expenses, office expenses and Commissioners For the installation of meters
2,500 00
5,000 00

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
Following is my report for the year ending December 31, 1915 :
POND.
Conditions at Great Pond are about the same as noted in my last report.
Surveys made during the past year show that important im- provements could be made at a relatively low cost, if the town owned the land bordering the pond ; and I wish to impress upon the commission and the citizens of the town, the importance of the early adoption of a policy providing for the acquisition and improvement of a portion of the shore of the pond each year.
The sluiceway on Randolph Street should in my opinion be replaced with concrete not later than 1917.
PUMPING STATION.
Owing partly to the wetness of the season, and partly to the reduction of waste by means of meters, the demands on the pumping plant have been much lighter this year than in years past, and we have been able to meet these demands without over- taxing the pumps to any appreciable extent.
Perhaps the most significant figures on this point are those showing that the reserve pump worked this year but thirty-eight (38) hours on domestic service, as compared with two hundred fifty (250) hours last year. (See Table 2, Pumping Records.)
CONSUMPTION.
For the first time in the history of the department, accurate figures for total consumption are available.
Last May a Cole Recording Pitometer was installed on the 14 inch main at the pumping station. This instrument gives a con- tinuous record of the flow in that main, thereby not only giving total discharge but showing immediately the occurrence of any large leak or other abnormal use of water.
284
The Pitometer is of great value to the superintendent, as it can easily be removed from the main and used anywhere on the sys- tem where information regarding discharge is desired. (See Table 3)
METERS.
The department has installed during the past year, approxi- mately one thousand domestic meters, and I feel that the results have been satisfactory to such an extent that the meter system now stands fairly on it's merits and requires no special comment. (See Table 4, Meters in use Dec. 31, 1915.)
MAINS.
It is worthy of note that of the 7,493 feet of main pipe laid this year, 7,061 feet was cast iron pipe of four inch or greater diameter. Of the remaining 432 feet, 250 feet were laid practi- cally on top of the ground, at a very low labor cost, to furnish summer service only. (Tables 5, 6, and 7)
Pitometer gagings of different sections of the distribution sys- tem, show that leakage from the mains themselves is very slight. Particularly gratifying were the results obtained on the 14 inch main from the pumping station to Washington St., where simul- taneous gagings at the pumping station, and near the "Old Town House " site on Washington Street gave the same dis- charge, showing practically no leakage in this section which has given considerable apprehension in the past.
The cost of laying mains in Weymouth for the past year com- pares favorably with that of other towns, and even with contract work, with the exception of those sections upon which rock is en- .countered. Our rock work by the old fashioned hand method is very costly, and I would strongly urge that before undertaking another rock job the department purchase a portable power drilling outfit.
SERVICES.
(For services laid during 1915, see Table 9.)
STAND PIPE.
Early last spring the stand pipe was emptied, the entire inside surface chip-hammered, scraped and wire-brusbed, and given two coats of genuine pure red lead, ground and mixed in Kellogg's pure K. V. oil. The outside, after being carefully scraped,
285
brushed, chip-hammered where necessary and all leaky seams and rivets caulked, was given one coat of red lead and oil as specified for inside, and one coat of pure Mexican graphite, ground and mixed in genuine kettle-boiled oil.
Owing to a driving shower coming up before the last coat was thoroughly dried, it showed streaks in places, and the contractor returned and applied a second coat of graphite and oil at his own expense. This painting job was in accordance with the best of modern practice, and should give six or seven years service.
A man hole has been built, and piping and wiring placed for new type of telemeter transmitter, doing away with old float apparatus, which has always given trouble in cold weather. The transmitter itself will be ready within a few weeks.
ENGINEERING.
Engineering work for the year has been confined to the pond and to the distribution system as follows :
POND.
During the past winter the pond was sounded, out to a depth of twelve feet below high water, or one foot below the water- works intake.
During the summer and fall have located the greater part of high water line and the contour one foot below high water which could not be located by sounding. These latter lines enclose a great amount of low land outside the pond proper, and progress has been slow but field work is nearly completed.
All notes have been plotted to a scale of one hundred feet to the inch, and this map will be finished during the coming year.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
Card index for service locations has been completed.
A general plan of the distribution system on scale of three hundred feet to the inch has been compiled and is now ready to trace.
Several sheets on scale of forty feet to the inch, showing mains, main gates, hydrants and house services, with measure- ments necessary to locate them on the ground have been com- pleted, and it is intended to eventually cover the entire town in this manner.
286
FUTURE NEEDS.
The following improvements should be provided for in the near future :
(1) ADDITIONAL STORAGE.
The need of additional storage as outlined in my last report was not as apparent this year as it has been in the past, and in fact will probably not be keenly felt by the individual water taker for several years. It is however a real need and not a visionary ·one, if we wish first class fire and domestic service, and would become an absolute necessity in case of any sizeable real estate .or commercial development in the northern part of the town.
(2) DAM.
The wooden dam and sluice way on Randolph St. should be re- placed with concrete within the next two years.
(3) SHOP.
The building now occupied as a shop and stable, besides being altogether unadapted to the needs of the department, is in such a condition as to require extensive repairs within the next two ol three years.
This building affords no opportunity for the lining of cement lined pipe, the making of concrete meter boxes, the painting and repair of wagons, motor equipment, hydrants, etc., all of which should be done in the winter by regular employees. The meter testing apparatus is at present housed in a separate building some distance from the main shop, and the one automobile owned by the department, in a garage, an equal distance in another di- rection ; all tending towards inefficiency and delay in answering emergency calls.
The economic operation of the department requires the replace- ment of the two horses now in use, by a one ton, or three-quarter iton automobile truck, a change that is prevented by lack of suit- able housing accomodations for the truck.
I would urge therefore, that no money be spent for repairs on the old building, but that plans and estimates for a new one be prepared during the coming year, and provision for its erection made in the next annual budget.
Respectfully submitted, FRED O. STEVENS,
Superintendent.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MASS., January 1, 1916.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN :- I hereby submit my report of the year 1915.
The Blake and Deane pumps needed very little repair during the year.
I have put a new gasket in flange joint on top of Boiler No. 1, and in the valve leading to pump room on the main steam line.
From measurements I find that Great Pond was at the greatest height February 28 when it was 1 inch below high water mark, and at its lowest point Oct. 31 being at that time 35 inches below.
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE W. SARGENT,
Engineer.
