REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
January 1, 1958
To the Weymouth Board of Water Commissioners:
Your Superintendent submits herewith his 19th annual report, which is the 74th annual report of the Water Department, for the year 1957.
The dry year has brought about several changes at the intake to the South Weymouth Pumping Station. During the low water, the intake bay was cleaned out, a dike constructed ready to close in a separate in- take bay and the intake pipe extended 36 feet into the pond. To provide for any emergency, two - 1500 G.P.M. temporary pumps were set up with- in a temporary pump house for repumping from a low level pond.
The suction well of the gasoline driven emergency station was com- pletely overhauled and the suction lowered.
A contract was given to Mulcahy Brothers of South Weymouth, to install pipe lines in streets accepted at March Town Meeting.
Due to various construction programs, such as drains, sewers, and new roads, several alterations were made in elevations of water mains.
In maintenance of works, the overhauling of wash valves at the Filter Plant was completed, and all pump motors were cleaned.
For new equipment, the Department acquired a backhoe attachment for the loader, a new Quick-Way backhoe, a meter-master, a 11/2 ton Dodge truck, and two new typewriters for the office.
Test Wells were driven in various sections of the town during the year without any substantial results.
For personnel, Mr. Barry and Mr. Cope were added to our force, and Mrs. Welsh was changed from temporary to a permanent member of the office force.
8,800 feet of new mains were installed, as well as 196 new services.
It is recommended that the programs of reinforcing mains and of cleaning mains be continued in 1958. It is also recommended that the search for additional emergency water supply be continued.
Your Superintendent wishes to express his appreciation for the co- operation of each member of the Board of Water Commissioners during the year, and also for the help and cooperation of all other departments of the Town.
The following tables give details of its department's activities during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY C. BEANE Superintendent

Respectfully submitted, HARRY I. GRANGER Treasurer of Water Department
January 1, 1958
I have examined the Treasurer's and Collector's accounts in the Wey- mouth Water Department and believe them to be correct. Regular exam- ination of all transactions, with a monthly verification of cash with the official statements of all depositories, satisfies me that the Treasurer has properly accounted for all funds entrusted to him.
