FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Board of Water Commissioners
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1907.
206
Water Commissioners' Annual Report.
In presenting the fourth annual report of the Wakefield Water Board, we have endeavored to make a clear and con- cise statement of the financial statistics relating to the depart- ment for the past year, so that they may be readily understood by the citizens of the town. We also give a summary of the constant increase of value since the plant came into the pos- session of the town, by extensions and new construction, together with other tables and figures of interest to the tax payer.
The new boilers, installed a year ago, have proved very sat- isfactory and, with other improvements at the works, have added materially to the efficiency as well as to the appearance of the pumping station.
The extension of the mains on Forest street, Greenwood, has been completed this year. The large amount of rock ledge in this street has prevented the residents from receiving the needed water supply and fire protection for many years, and it is probable that the proper supply would not have been furnished for many years to come, under other than town ownership.
There is still a demand for a large amount of new construc- tion, which the board hopes to meet within the usual appro- priations, by carefully selecting those localities where the need is greatest.
The amount of water pumped annually, as shown in our re- ports, has caused the board to seriously consider the question of a future adequate supply of water for the town. The chair- man of the board, Representative Dean, has introduced a bill, in the legislature, providing for a temporary supply from the Metropolitan district whenever emergencies may require the same. As such supplementary supply would be needed only in the event of a very dry season, the passage of this bill
207
would guarantee a water supply for many years to come. This source of supply might be utilized at the season of the year when all lakes of moderate size are affected by vegetable growth, should the same become particularly obnoxious in our lake.
As the above mentioned relief depends entirely on legisla- tive action, the board has considered the question of trying to increase the storage capacity of Crystal Lake. The most prac- tical method of doing this seemed to be that of raising the level of the lake, by constructing a concrete wall three feet high and backed with gravel, along the northern shore and extend- ing along the eastern shore, bordered by the railroad, for a short distance.
In order to ascertain if this plan was feasible, we obtained the valuable advice of Mr. Geo. M. Tompson, civil engineer, who, after making a personal examination with level tests, endorses the plan. The possible increase of storage capacity of 63,000,000 gallons exceeded our expectations, and the probable cost is much below that which we anticipated. We append his report hereto .*
*REPORT OF ENGINEER GEORGE M. TOMPSON.
JANUARY 30, 1907.
BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS, WAKEFIELD, MASS. :
Gentlemen : The capacity of Crystal Lake can be increased by raising the high water mark three feet by an expenditure of about $8,000, some 63,000,000 gallons, which at a daily consumption of 800,000 gallons means nearly eighty days' supply.
The work necessary to be done to accomplish this is :
