After much deliberation and careful planning the Board of Health on May 1st, 1951 adopted Rules and Regulations, similar to those of the United States Pub- lic Health Service, for eating and drinking establish- ments.


This was done as an aid in protecting our citizens from foodborne diseases often found in dining and drinking places. It provides for the purity of edibles and beverages sold, their proper storage and handling and for cleanliness of utensils and equipment. Each individual who handles food in these establishments must be chest X-rayed and be in generally good health ; and have at all times on his person a health card per- mitting him to handle food.


In conjunction with this we are now connected with the City of New Bedford Health Department in that they have put at our disposal the facilities of their X-ray Clinic. Any resident of the Town may now be X-rayed at the New Bedford Clinic free of charge. The charge to Mattapoisett for this service is about .06 per capita.


We sincerely hope the residents of Mattapoisett will cooperate with us in our effort to make our Town a healthier place to live in.

Report on Test Well Work and Water Main Extensions


Town of Mattapoisett, Mass.


Whitman & Howard, Engineers 89 Broad Street, Room 514 Boston 10, Mass.


November 29, 1951


Board of Water Commissioners Mattapoisett Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


Since submitting our original report dated January 24, 1951, we have made further investigation, at your request, into the matter of securing an additional water supply for the Town of Mattapoisett, and report our findings herewith.


TEST WELLS


From the number of test wells driven and the ex- tensive areas covered by these test wells, it is very evident that securing an additional water supply from a ground water source in the Town of Mattapoisett is a difficult matter. The accompanying map shows that most of the areas tested were confined to the south portion of the Town and adjacent to the existing sys- tem.


The first location for the continued test well work, being Location No. 10, was in the valley of a small tributary to the Mattapoisett River east of Acushnet Road, southeast of Pumping Station No. 2 and east of the river. Here ledge or refusal was encountered at about 16 feet.


145


Location No. 11, which proved to be the most suit- able site for an additional water supply encountered in all of the test well work, lies about 900 feet from an existing water main, being north of the Pumping Sta- tion No. 2 and just east of Acushnet Road on land own- ed by the Mattapoisett Cranberry Company. At this location the formation which is described under the Log of Test Wells attached, showed that sand and gravel of excellent water-bearing nature exists from about 20 feet to a depth of 46 feet. The first test well driven in this location; namely, Location 11, Hole 1, delivered 120 gallons per minute and was 23 feet deep. The static water level was 26 inches below the ground.


An attempt was made at Location 12, being west of Acushnet Road and about 900 feet northwest of Pump- ing Station No. 2, to test for similar water-bearing ma- terial on land adjacent to Town property, but this material proved to be fine sand and clay and very poor water-bearing quality.


Location No. 13 was situated about 900 feet south of Marion Road and 1,000 feet west of Prospect Road. In this location again fine sand of poor water-bearing quality was encountered.


From these results it is unlikely that a ground water supply either in the eastern part of Town or adjacent to existing water mains can be obtained. Therefore, it was decided that further investigation of Location No. 11 was warranted. Approximately 100 feet from Hole 1, in this location, another test well was driven and this well went to a depth of 45 feet through water- bearing sand and gravel and had a water depth of about 40 feet. An observation well was driven 2 feet away from Hole No. 2, and the specific yield was deter- mined to be about 65 gallons per foot of drawdown.


146


WATER QUALITY


The analysis of water pumped at Location 11, Holes 1 and 2 at a depth of 25 feet, showed that from 0.16 to 0.29 parts per million of iron was present, together with 0.03 parts per million of manganese, and water pumped from a depth of 45 feet contained from 4.4 to 6.0 parts per million of iron and 0.12 parts per million of manganese. From these results it appears that the nature of the ground water is such that it will require treatment, as the presence of that much iron even in the shallow wells would indicate that an increase in the iron content might occur in the future. The U. S. Pub- lic Health Standards suggest that the combined iron and manganese content of portable water to be not more than 0.30 parts per million.


PUMPING TEST


To determine the effect that continuous pumping might have on the iron content of the water as well as to study the drawdown of the water table or safe yield of the area, six 21/2-inch wells grouped in a circle were driven at Location 11, Hole 2 to a depth of 25 feet. Five of these wells were piped together and con- nected to a large pump and a test was conducted in September, pumping continuously 24 hours a day, at the rate of about 210 gallons per minute for a period of five days. During this time, the ground water level was observed in two observation wells (one in the circle and Hole No. 1, 100 feet away) and a graph showing the drawdown is attached. It may be seen from the graph that the ground water table leveled off at the end of the fourth day at a drawdown of 9 feet, which indicates a specific yield of 23 gallons per foot of drawdown. While this specific yield is much less than that obtained at the 45-foot depth in the same lo- cation, it is no doubt due to the nature of sand and gravel intercepted by the shallow wells as compared to


147


the coarser material at the greater depth. However, for the basis of figuring the capacity of a gravel pack- ed well at that site the 23 gallon specific yield will be used. Samples of water were taken during the pump- ing test and an analysis showed that the water quality did not vary.


From the results of this test it was determined that 500 gallons per minute could be pumped from a well constructed in this location with a lowering of the water level in the well of about 22 feet.


PILOT PLANT STUDY


Following the pumping test on the six 21/2-inch wells, one of the wells was driven down to 46 feet, as it was decided to conduct a pilot plant study and investigate the possibility of removing the iron from water at that depth. In order to do this, a small pump was con- nected to the well and water was pumped through a small Ferrosand Filter. Samples of the raw water and the filtered water were taken and analyses were made by the State Department of Public Health. The results showed a very good reduction in the iron but there was an increase in the manganese of the filtered water. The explanation for this increase in mangan- ese lies in the low pH of the raw water (being on the acid side). However, this can be corrected by pH correction equipment which is normally provided in large installations treating similar water. Such pH corrective treatment for a small pilot plant study would involve intricate apparatus and thus was omitted. A water analysis sheet is attached.

To provide for future growth and to pump the maxi- mum day in about 10 hours, a total pumping capacity of about 900 gallons per minute will be necessary. It must be borne in mind that the water consumption of Mattapoisett during the summer months is about four times that of the winter months, and the most econom- ical pumping arrangement under these conditions is to provide more than one pump or pumping station with different capacities. Therefore, we recommend that you develop an additional supply for 500 gallons per minute over and above your present supply.


150


DEVELOPMENT AND TREATMENT OF ADDITIONAL SUPPLY


In order to obtain the necessary additional supply, it is proposed to construct a gravel packed well to a depth of 46 feet at Location 11, Hole 2, and to install a deep well turbine type pump driven by an electric motor and with a standby gasoline engine.


The water which contains iron is to be pumped into the distribution system through three pressure type filters designed for the removal of iron and installed on the discharge of the pump. These iron removal filters are the most economical and efficient for this type of installation and will reduce the combined iron and manganese content of the water to within the allow- able standards set forth by the U. S. Public Health Department. It is estimated that the cost of the permanganate chemical used in regenerating the fil- ters will be about $12.00 per million gallons and that this filter plant will deliver approximately one million gallons of water before it is necessary to backwash and regenerate the filter. In connection with the opera- tion of these filters, one of the manufacturers of such equipment states that "based upon the 500 gallons per minute plant after a filtering run it usually requires from five to eight minutes to backwash one filter. If we take the longest time this would represent 4,000 gallons of backwash water. To pump in the charge of permanganate, then rinse it down through the bed, requires about 1,500 gallons and to thoroughly rinse the last trace of permanganate from the filter requires about 3,300 gallons, making a total use of 8,800 gal- lons of water for backwashing and regenerating. With 6 parts per million of iron in the well water each filter will deliver 357,000 gallons per regeneration. Conse- quently, the backwashing and regenerating water re- presents 2.5% of the water filtered." The wasting of


1


151


some water for backwashing and rinsing is typical to all iron removal plants.


IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES TO PRESENT WATER SUPPLY WORKS


No. 1 Pumping Station contains two Triplex pumps, each having a capacity of approximately 240 gallons a minute and are belt driven from a single 25 horsepower electric motor. There is no standby equipment and the two pumps are never operated together. The mini- mum charge for electricity at this station is $400 per year and at present the station is operated just enough to use up this amount. The Superintendent reports that during dry weather the twenty-six 21/2-inch wells which are located around the station cannot be pumped by either pump more than four hours before the vac- uum increases to 17 inches, which is about the practi- cal limit. From this it is apparent that the capacity of the pumps exceeds the capacity of the well field. Test wells driven in the vicinity of Pumping Station No 1 revealed that the water-bearing material was sand with sharp gravel overlaid with clay. We do not recommend spending any money on additional wells in this location, but the fact that this station today has a capacity sufficient to meet the wintertime demands can- not be overlooked. Therefore, if an arrangement with the power company could be made to reduce the elec- trical charge it might prove advisable to replace the present pumping equipment with a smaller centri- fugal pump, electrically operated, together with treat- ing and cleaning the wells with glassy phosphate (Calgon). This station would then be an economical plant for winter operation.


At Pumping Station No. 2 is another Triplex pump having a rated capacity of 450 gallons a minute. How- ever, the Superintendent estimates it pumps only 391 gallons per minute as there is no meter and allowance


152


has to be made for slippage. This pump is gear driven by a 50 horsepower electric motor and has no stand- by auxiliary power source. The efficiency of this pump has fallen off over the years to such an extent that it requires two to three false starts before the unit actually begins delivering water during times of low ground water level.


In the event of a large fire, even a few minutes' de- lay in starting to pump water might mean a great deal in the quantity of water available for fighting fire. Therefore, this unit in Pumping Station No. 2 should be replaced by an electric motor driven and gasoline engine driven centrifugal pump with electric motor driven and gasoline engine driven vacuum pumps to eliminate the air problem and assure instant prime of the pump. Included in improvements at Pumping Sta- tion No. 2 should be a heater, a recording flow meter together with other necessary gauges. With the instal- lation of gasoline engine auxiliary power, it will be pos- sible to supply the Town with water in the event of an electric power failure.


The wells at this station should also be treated and cleaned as suggested at Station No. 1.


Pumping Station No. 2 would be used some of the time during the winter and would definitely be used in case of power failure.


RECOMMENDATIONS


We recommend that you begin at once to construct a gravel packed well approximately 46 feet deep at Location 11, Hole 2, together with pumping station and filter building, install pumping equipment and fil- tering equipment and connect it with the existing main in Acushnet Road. The pumping station and filter building to be one building approximately 30 feet square of concrete block construction and to house three 9-foot diameter filters as well as the electric motor


153


and gasoline engine driven deep well pump. This sta- tion is primarily for summertime use. It will be neces- sary to construct a roadway into this building and lay a pipe line to the existing 10-inch tee in Acushnet Road at Pumping Station No. 2.


We further recommend that following the comple- tion of the additional supply you begin a program to replace the present pumping equipment at Pumping Station No. 2 with a modern efficient centrifugal pump with recording flow meter and, if a suitable power cost arrangement can be obtained for No. 1, the suggested changes be made at that station also.
