REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners:
The various tables and summaries, covering in detail the work of the department for the year ending Dec. 1, 1918, is submitted herewith.'
The outstanding feature of the year's work has been the abnormal cost of maintenance and operation. While only such new construction, and meter installations as seemed absolutely necessary, has been undertaken, and a very small amount expended along these lines, a combination of war prices and adverse physical conditions have brought operat- ing and maintenance costs to a figure almost double that of 1916.
Wasting of water to prevent freezing, during the winter months, and underground leakage caused by freezing, in- creased the annual pumpage by about fifty per cent., which with coal averaging $2.25 per ton higher than in 1917, and of inferior quality, added about $3000 to the fuel item alone.
There were 27 cases of frozen mains, and 253 frozen serv- ices, which with the work on frozen meters, kept two sets of electrical apparatus and three hot water gangs almost continuously employed from Jan. 1 to March 15, the last electrical thawing being done, on April 5. The electrical apparatus employed was as follows :
One 50 K. V. A. transformer with water rheostat, neces- sary switches, ammeters, etc., mounted on a horse drawn wagon, for use on larger mains.
Two 15 K. V. A. transformers with accessories, mounted on a two-ton motor truck, for use on smaller mains and serv- ices. These transformers took current from the Weymouth Light & Power Companies lines at 3300 volts, delivering on the secondary side at 110 volts. The current used for thaw- ing ranged from 75 amperes on 'short new services to 800 amperes on six-inch cast iron mains. The extra outlay on distribution system and services due to freezing amounted to about $2500.
371 meters, or 19 per cent. of all in service were damaged
346
by frost. These were, with very few exceptions, repaired in the departments meter shop, the extra cost of meter mainte :- nance for the year, due to freezing, being about $500.
That the department has been able to tide over this period of high operating expenses, without a further increase in rates, is due partly to the practice of rigid economy, and partly to the fact that for the past two years the normal amount of replacement work has not been done.
This deficiency in replacements must be made up out of earnings as soon as possible, but considering the present high prices of materials it does not seem advisable to attempt any considerable amount of new or replacement work during the coming year. Unless extreme conditions of unemployment demand the starting of work for their relief, it would appear to be better policy to accumulate surplus funds to be ex- pended when the metal market is lower.
At the pumping station, new grates have been installed in No. 2 boiler and the firebox and ashpit linings entirely re- newed. Old wooden guides for screens at screen house have been replaced by steel channels set in concrete. Pitometer tests of both pumps show a maximum slip of less than five percent. In connection with slip tests a series of simul -· taneous gagings were made to determine the relation between the indicated discharge at the gaging point in front of the station, and that at a point some distance down Hollis St., where the flow is not influenced by gates or curves.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED O. STEVENS,
