The well driven on the Wakefield property, near West Water avenue, yielded about 12 gallons per minute. The depth at which the water-bearing stratum was found was, however, only 25 feet below the surface. Below this depth fine gray sand was struck from which no water whatever could be pumped.
If a sufficient quantity of water had been found in this loca- tion, I am of the opinion that the quality would have been unsat- isfactory for domestic use, due to the close proximity of fac- tories and other buildings, the drainage from which would undoubtedly pollute the ground water.
In order to make the examination and test thorough, it was thought advisable to drive wells in the Greenwood playground near Oak street and also on the almshouse land. Surface indi- cations in both of these locations were not favorable, and the test wells have determined that a supply cannot be secured in either location. In the Greenwood location the valley is sur- rounded by rocky hills and the rock underlies the surface in the valley at a depth of from 6 to 16 feet.
The almshouse location seemed somewhat more favorable. The hills surrounding the valley are, however, composed of
153
ledges, and ledge was also found at the surface in one part of the valley.
In all 16 were driven in various parts of the town. In each case the well was driven to ledge In locations where the first well struck rock a few feet below the surface, another was driven a short distance away, in order to be sure that it was ledge and not boulders. In two cases three wells were driven within a dis- tance of not over 150 feet. Samples of the material washed up from each well were taken and numbered in accordance with the locations shown on the plan. These samples do not show the actual conditions of the material as it lies in the ground. This being due to the fact that about all of the fine sand and clay is washed out and lost when collecting the samples.
COST OF MAKING TESTS
The total cost of driving the test wells, exclusive of engineer- ing services, was $659.43 ; of this amount $540 was for labor and the balance, or $119.43, for pipe and material.
Owing to the hard, compact material through which some of the wells were driven, it was impossible to pull them up, thus making it necessary to pay for the pipe and coupling left in the ground.
The examination and tests have been thorough, and in my opinion have definitely determined that it is impossible to secure water in any quantity within the limits of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
LEWIS D. THORPE.
