REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
The Honorable Board of Water Commissioners,
Scituate, Mass.
Gentlemen:
Herein I beg to submit for the consideration of the Water Commissioners, the ninth annual report of the Scituate Water Department, including therein a chron- icle of the work performed during the year 1940 and recommendations for future operation and improvement of the Water Department.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
One of the improvements undertaken by the Water Department is that of replacing the small shallow supply lines in Humaroek, with mains of sufficient size to supply fire service, through hydrants, and laying them at such a depth as to avoid the frost action. This work has been accomplished for the most part during the winter months, to relieve the unemployment situation, and another section was started in the early part of January of this year. About nineteen hundred feet of six inch pipe was laid during January and February, and later the services to the property line were completed below the frost line. This installation not only assures the consumers water service for the entire year, but saves the Town the cost of labor and materials for service and repairs, constantly required, where small shallow lines are in use. Lines of this type throughout the Town are gradu- ally being replaced with mains of fire service eapaeity, giving twelve months service. The work is being done as funds become available, or as required when the streets are rebuilt. Particular appropriations should be made for new construction, or reconstruction. where the water lines are now small and shallow. if renewal is required at onee.
Early in the year, development of Fourth Cliff was started by private enter- prise. There was no water supply at Fourth Cliff and it immediately became neces- sary to devise ways and means to finance the installation of a potable supply for the development.
The budget of the Water Department is such that it was of course absolutely impossible for the Department to make the addition to the system without the use of other funds, and any money whatsoever that was to be supplied from the Water Department funds, became an expense that was entirely unforeseen and for which no provision whatsoever had been made.
After the futility of attempts to obtain Federal aid became definitely apparent, the Water Department, the developer and the U. S. Navy arranged to supply funds for the installation of 6,726 feet of 8-inch, and 782 feet of 6-inch water main, extending from the end of the 10-inch main at the northerly end of Humaroek to, and around, the west side of Fourth Cliff.
At this point, time beeamne a very important factor, and together with the difficulties to be met in the beach sand and loose beach stones, resulted in a deci- sion to have the work done by a contractor, using power shovels, under the super- vision of the Water Department.
Under these conditions an addition of 7,508 feet of water main was made between June 3 and June 25, in 17 work days.
The supply lines to the higher parts of the Cliff were furnished by the devel- oper, using 2-inch galvanized steel pipe and laying it about 12 inches deep. This is not a particularly satisfactory condition and requires labor to drain the lines in the fall and to recondition and restore the service again in the spring. Most of the houses in this section where two-inch pipe has been laid have been built for summer occupancy only, and do not require water service during the winter, but there have been requests from owners of property to have mains laid deep enough to avoid frost action.
The development of the Fourth Cliff has added many thousands of dollars worth of taxable property to the Town, and a water supply of this character would have been demanded by the many property owning taxpayers in this section, at once, and at the entire expense of the Town. It was indeed very fortunate that the U. S. Navy and the developer agreed to furnish funds to such an extent that the project became possible; and the wisdom of completing the work as outlined is very apparent.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The Water Department was, at once, required to install service connections, and during the season, 76 connections were made, adding what must be termed, unforeseen expenditure by the Department.
Reconstruction of Mitchell Avenue and Pond Road was carried on during April and the Water Department was called on to lay a main approximately 1,000 feet long through these streets. This work had been contemplated by the Depart- ment as a Federal Aid project but no provision had been made for it in the 1940 budget. It would seem feasible, in a case of this sort, to include sufficient funds in the appropriation for reconstruction to install the water supply as required.
Throughout the year, Federal Aid Work has been carried on to considerable advantage and while the work during the winter months cannot be prosecuted as efficiently as during the summer, the average has been very satisfactory and 5,610 feet of main have been laid during 1940.
In January and February a main was laid on Tilden Road from Norwell Avenue to Garden Road, completing an essential loop in that section.
From March to July, work was carried on, in the westerly part of the Town, to finish the installation of a main on Cedar Street.
During July, August and September, mains were placed in Hawley Road and Brockton Avenue.
Because of the summer or seasonal traffic, the work of replacing a very badly corroded and carbonized cast iron main at Satuit Brook was done in October and November. This particular project consisted of laying a twelve-inch Transite main in Front Street to take the place of the old main in the marsh.
Work replacing an old two-inch line and completing a circuit on Tilden Road between Turner Road and Garden Road was continued in December. The small pipe was replaced and the circuit is being completed with an eight-inch main.
Federal approval has been obtained for a project to replace an old line on Jericho Road with a larger main, and work is scheduled to start early in the year. This new main will reinforce the system in the Sandhills to a very considerable extent and the fire fighting service will be improved very much.
Deficiency in rainfall amounting to 15.43 inches in the last two years has affected our supply very noticeably. While we have not been short of water, or even dangerously close, it would seem expedient to construct another well in Webster Meadow to help carry our peak loads.
The well system at Beaver Dam has depreciated considerably and could be reconditioned to advantage.
The information we have on this well field indicates the possibility of using a gravel packed well system and relocation of the pump for improved efficiency. The work in these well fields should be carried on as soon as funds can be made available.
Emergency measures are always in order and the wars in Europe which seem to be approaching the United States closer every day, only suffice to impress every- one with the importance of additional protection. We are now using electric power for pumping water at all of the stations, and purchase the power from the Brockton Edison Company which has many interconnections through the neigh- boring states. However, with all this backing, there have been times when the power has been off, and the pumps at a standstill. To overcome this condition, a larger generator could be installed in the Old Oaken Bucket Station and operated by the diesel motor that we have now. This would furnish power to operate pumps in Webster Meadow and provide an emergency supply of water.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
Numerous complaints have been received from different parts of the Town, throughout the year, relative to the hardness of the water.
Inability to produce soapsuds or the exceptional amount of soap powder re- quired to remove the dirt was spoken of most frequently. Reports from the State Board of Health, show a hardness of 64 parts per million in Seituate in 1939, while at the same time, reports from the same souree, indieate a hardness of 23 P.P. M. in Cohasset and 11 P.P.M. in Marshfield. These figures mean that Seituate water requires several times as mueh soap and work to obtain satisfactory results. A seetion of the Old Oaken Bueket pumping station could be used to advantage if a softening plant were installed.
Further development in the Fourth Cliff, in Humaroek and in a new section south of the present settlement in Humarock, will require numerous extensions for water serviee. Preparations are being made to construet one hundred or more summer houses, fifteen of which are already built or now under construction. These developments will not require quite as drastic action as did the Fourth Cliff originally, but will, nevertheless, require water serviee.
Tables on the following pages show detailed account of various phases of the work.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of Scituate:
I have planted one hundred and nine shade trees, namely: Maple, Elms, and Willows.
The Elm Tree Beetle is very badly spread all over our town. The only remedy is to spray.
The Dutch Elm Disease is in the southern part of our State, near the Connec- ticut line. Investigation shows that the disease may be in a tree for several years before the leaves wilt, which is the only outward evidence of its presence.
This makes early detection very difficult and therefore many isolated in- fections may be in existence even in Massachusetts, which will not be revealed for three to five years.
The only known effective means of eradicating the disease is to cut down all infected trees and burn.
It is carried chiefly by insects such as the elm tree beetle which is the chief offender.
The attention of the public is called to the fact that unscrupulous persons representing themselves as expert tree men have claimed to find disease on private estates in hope of getting work. The disease has not been found in this State as yet.

Tree Warden.
