REPORT OF THE
WATER DEPARTMENT
OF THE
TOWN of SCITUATE
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31
1932
145
Report of Water Department
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The first calendar year of operation of the department by the Commissioners is complete, and the results are here pre- sented.
Our first act at the beginning of 1932 was to reduce the water rate $2.00 to each customer, and bills were sent out accordingly.
This was the first reduction in rate since the installation of the works 39 years ago, and scores one for town ownership.
During these years the Company advanced the rate for domestic service 80%, and the rate for hydrant service 425%. We plan for a constantly lessening rate in the future.
Our report rendered at the close of 5 months operation in 1931 contemplated the installation of a new well to provide addi- tional ground water; a new standpipe with a capacity of one million gallons to supplement the present storage of 270,000 gallons, and the installation of some new mains.
In carrying out our plan we contracted with P. D. Bowler Co. of Chicago to install for $14,000., one well to deliver daily one million gallons of water, conforming to the Mass. Standard for Water Supplies, or we would be relieved of all payments on account of the contract.
To determine the best location for this well, the Contractor put down test borings in more than 40 places, but found the best location at No. Scituate in the Bound Brook area.
One gravel-packed well was installed here, but since the formation was such that the required amount of water could not be obtained from this type of wall the project was abandoned and we were under no obligation to accept the results of their labors. The contract required that they remove all materials and leave the ground in its original condition.
146
Report of Water Department
However, here was a well of water of quality approved by the State Dept. of Health, yielding . 300,000 gallons per day, which was more than any other well in Town, including the deep wells at Webster Meadow, and by negotiations with the Company this was purchased for $1500. A house is being built, a pump installed; and connection made directly into the main at the N. Scituate R. R. Crossing. This will materially benefit the whole service and will cost less for operation than any other well in Town.
As Bound Brook is in the largest water shed in Town, addi- tional water will be sought here in a different type of well, and put down by our own men in slack time in the future.
To further our plans to increase the efficiency of the plant and reduce annual cost of operation, we asked for a special town meeting to authorize the issuing of $80,000. in Bonds to erect a million gallon standpipe at Hatchet Rock; lay a 16" main to connect this with the present main near the "Silas Pierce Place"; install a 10" main and provide connections to allow Webster Meadow wells to be pumped directly into the main at Greenbush; lay 10" and 8" mains to connect the main at Scituate Center with the main at Maple Street; and take over the Humarock Beach Water Company, providing both fire and domestic service for the 115 houses there.
This would have been accomplished without adding to the tax rate, would have greatly improved the service, would have reduced the expense of operation, would have provided $25,000., of hand labor for citizens of the Town, and the water rate would have been $7.31 less to the average customer.
The taxpayers voted to cut the plan to $37,500., doing only the Webster Meadow and Humarock projects, but so worded the amendment that no notes could be issued, and the Commis- sioners were obliged to call another special meeting to rectify the error. Notes were then issued by the Treasurer and the work of construction was begun.
The agreements which the Commissioners made with the Humarock Beach Water Company and the Town of Marshfield were carried out to the letter and deeds were prepared by the
147
Report of Water Department
Attorneys conveying the property of the Humarock Co. to the Towns. The Legislative bill was passed at the session of 1932, and allows the town to purchase water for Humarock from the Town of Marshfield. Pipe laying and connections will be com- pleted by March 1, 1933.
The Webster Meadow project is well under way and will be put into operation as soon as the work is completed.
The trench work during the year has been done by hand labor, as planned, and while more expensive than machine work. it has gone on in a very satisfactory manner.
The Commissioners are glad to announce for 1933 a further reduction in fixture rates of $4. to every family having bath- rooms, and wish to express our appreciation for the measure of cooperation accorded us in working out so complex a problem. The report of Superintendent follows.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC T. BAILEY, STEPHEN C. WEBSTER, DANIEL A. VINES,
Commissioners.

Report of Water Department
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1932
To the Commissioners of Water:
Gentlemen :
I beg to submit herewith the first annual report of the Scituate Water Department for your consideration.
Unit #10, the new well in Webster Meadow, which was added to the system, the first of the year, was operated con- tinuously to supply the greater part of the water during the winter months. This unit proved to be the best designed, in the Meadow for efficiency. Necessary additional water was obtained from Unit #9.
The broken shaft on unit #5 at Greenbush Sta. was repaired and the unit put back into service on January 16, to pump water into the mains.
During January and February, the 130 H.P. Diesel engine was overhauled and it was found necessary to replace a cracked piston and the piston rings. The drive belt to the pump was degreased at this time and tightened.
Starting March 15, an eight inch main was laid on the easterly side of Border Street from Gannett Road, for a distance of about 200 feet, and a hydrant set near the end of the line. Tests by the fire department showed that a fair fire stream would be available at "Hugo's", from this hydrant.
A 6" main extending along Egypt, Alden and Marshall Aves., was started March 25, and completed in April. This pipe replaced a small shallow line and relieved a very acute situation for both domestic and fire service, as several hydrants were placed on this main.
During the latter part of April, about 1100 feet of 8" main was laid on Lawson Road, and hydrants were set on this road and Branch Street.
The hydrants on Front Street were equipped for. hose con- nections only, and on May 6 a hydrant with a connection for
150
Report of Water Department
the fire pump was set about midway between Willow Street and Brook Street.
A short line of 6" pipe was laid on Marion Road, the first of July, and a hydrant set near Hatherly Road.
Another short line of 6" main was laid on Dreamwold Road, the first week in September. During the latter part of September a small cast iron service line was laid northerly on Buttonwood Lane.
The negotiations at Humarock Beach have been carried on throughout the entire year. After the preliminary agreements had been completed, an appraisal of the Humarock Beach Water Company was made. The field work was done by the Scituate Water Department, and final analyses by Metcalf & Eddy, for Scituate and Marshfield, and Tyler for the Humarock Beach Water Company. Final estimates and arrangements were made near the end of the year, but actual work of laying mains was not started until 1933.
Shortly after the March town meeting, a contract was made with P. D. Bowler to develop ground water in Scituate, and test boring was started at once in No. Scituate, near Bound Brook. A well capable of producing 300,000 gallons per day was con- structed at this point, but as this amount of water was not sufficient to fill the conditions of the contract the test boring was carried on in all parts of the town where it seemed that ground water might be found.
As no other locality yielded sufficient water to be developed. the well and land at No. Scituate were purchased and contracts let for a pump house and a motor driven turbine pump. An 8" main was laid from Country Way to the pump house along the line of a proposed highway.
In October, eight of the 6" wells, in the westerly part of Webster Meadow, were tested with a deep well pump, and the average production of these wells was about 50 g.p.m. or a little more than 70,000 g.p.d. No further development was carried on in this field during 1932.
In December a 10-inch main was laid from the Greenbush pumping Sta. to the wells in Webster Meadow, and hydrants in-
151
Report of Water Department
stalled on the line. This line will be used for a force main just as soon as booster pumps are installed in the stations in Webster Meadow.
More than ever, is necessity of greater storage capacity obvious, to make possible in addition to improved fire and domes- tic service, the continuous operation of single units over a twenty-four hour period, and thus eliminate the operation of two or more units to carry peak loads in the winter months.
Replacement of small lines with cast iron mains should be continued as rapidly as feasible and gaps in the larger mains should be filled in very soon.
Dupication of mains crossing salt marshes and tidal water, possibly with a different type of pipe, should be considered seriously.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. LUMBERT,
Superintendent.

Twenty-five persons were known to be injured and two died. Injury and death are not a measure of the carelessness involved in these accidents. Any one of them might have resulted fatally. Attention is called to the locations in order that greater care may be taken at these points in the future. Although the conditions at these locations had only a small part, if any, to play in causing the accidents. The several locations on the Country Way have received previous mention by this Committee. Country Way and Cohasset Line, two accidents. Country Way and First Parish Road, one accident, Country Way and Hollet Street, two accidents. In all eleven accidents on the Country Way at Tilden Road and Beaver Dam Road there were three, on Clapp Road there were four.
Five children ran out from behind parked cars. They will do so in the coming year. Drivers should expect them to do so and take proper precaution. Two drunken drivers, residents of the town, did what might be expected of them. Public opinion should give them attention.
