The department has received the usual large number of applications for water main extensions and water services, also sewer extensions and house connections for sewerage disposal, and as far as possible all applications have received attention in the order in which they were re- ceived.
At the request of the board of Selectmen and the Board of Health, a survey is being made of the low level sewer area, to ascertain the ap-

proximate cost of sewering a part or the whole section. The sewer de- partment has received from time to time a number of applications for connections in this section of the town.
The relaying of the cement mains on Main Street and on Bennett street has been done, which will render more satisfactory service in every way.
The Board feels that at least one mile of cement pipe should be re- laid each year with cast iron pipe.
The year of 1925 has been a very busy one, due to the large amount of new construction in both the water and sewer departments.
All bills contracted by the department have been paid and the de- partment starts the new year with a clean slate.
The Superintendent's report which follows gives complete details regarding construction, improvements etc, which may be of interest to the town.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
In addition there were two hydrants broken off by automobiles. They were located at the corner of Vernon Street and Salem Street, and on Farm Street near the Poor Farm.
GATES
Following the custom of previous years all gates have been inspect- ed, and those found defective have been repaired or replaced.
The following new gates have been added during the year :-
12 inch gate on Albion Street near Mountain Avenue.
12 inch gate on Main Street, corner Franklin Street.
12 inch gate on Main street near Hart's Hill Park Gate.
6 inch gate on Bennett Street near number 16.
6 inch gate on Main Street corner of Greenwood Avenue. .
IMPROVEMENTS
An engine lathe has been installed in the shop at the pumping station. This machine has proved to be a great addition to the de- partment, as practically all the machine work needed by the department can now be done by the employees, instead of hiring it done, eliminating much delay and expense in emergency repair work.
The intake or suction cages located in Crystal Lake have been re- paired. New copper wire mesh was put on to replace the old mesh which was badly in need of repair. The mud was removed from around the north suction cage for a distance of twenty feet. The foot valve on the north suction pipe was removed to allow the water to be draughted at a higher elevation than before.
A new chlorinator was installed in the pumping station to replace the two formerly in use since 1918.
A start was made late this fall to remove the stumps from the south cove of Crystal Lake. A hoisting engine was used, with 1200 feet of wire cable. The stumps are piled up and will be burned as soon as they have dried sufficiently.
A new blacksmith shop has been erected on Broadway on the site of the former portable shop which was erected in 1885.
The standpipe has been thoroughly cleaned and painted this year, and from a close inspection indicates it to be in very good condition.
During the year the town purchased the Hamblen property com- prising about eight and one half acres, located in Stoneham, on the south water shed of Crystal Lake. By so doing the town has eliminated another house from the water shed.

WATER SUPPLY
Crystal Lake, Wakefields water supply is at the present time thirty- three inches below high water. As has been the custom in years gone by, samples are taken each week, and are carried to Boston, to the office of Weston and Sampson, Chemical Engineers. A careful study of the reports of these samples shows that the water in Crystal Lake remains in its usual good condition.
RECONSTRUCTION
The six inch cement lined pipe from Nahant Street south to the Greenwood Bridge was replaced this year with a twelve inch cast iron main, a distance of thirty two hundred feet. All hydrants were con- nected with cast iron pipe and each hydrant separately gated. At in- tersecting streets new gates were installed and twelve feet of cast iron pipe laid on the side streets beyond the gates. This will eliminate the dig- ging up of Main Street and the shutting down of the twelve inch line whenever any of the side streets are relaid.

50.9 gals.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
This main has improved the conditions in Greenwood a great deal. Coupled with the laying of Main Street were the extensions on Green Street and on Merriam Street, heretofore mentioned under the heading of extensions. From the Greenwood bridge south there are now three six inch lines feeding Greenwood, against the one six inch line that previously extended down Main Street. This gives Greenwood a water pressure equal to that of any part of the entire town.
The relaying of Bennett Street from Main Street to Traverse Street has eliminated another bad stretch of cement lined pipe. Eighteen hundred feet of six inch cast iron was laid.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
Humphrey Street, 622.6 feet of eight inch tile sewer, from Renwick Road to dead end.
Morgan Avenue, 435.0 feet of eight inch tile sewer from Renwick Road to Tamworth Hill Avenue.
Pine Ridge Road, 565.6 feet of eight inch tile sewer from Renwick Road south to dead end.
Tamworth Hill Avenue, 404.5 feet eight inch tile sewer from Morgan Avenue south to dead end.
Fox Road, 145 feet eight inch tile sewer from dead end to house built by the late Charles Auld.
Summer Street, 403.1 feet of six inch tile sewer, from Main Street to within a short distance of Orchard Avenue.
Whittemore Terrace, 224.0 feet of eight inch tile sewer from West Chestnut Street to house of Teague.
This sewer was paid by Mr. Teague.
Summit Avenue, 279.4 feet of eight inch tile sewer from Park Ave- nue to house of Purrington.
Jordan Avenue, 74.9 feet of six inch tile sewer from dead end to house of William Curley.
Greenwood Plains sewer was installed this year as per the vote at the annual town meeting. Access to the Plains was obtained by crossing private land between Main Street and Merriam Street. A

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
taking ten feet in width and extending the entire depth of the lot, own- ed by Edna Guibord, was made. It was necessary also to obtain an ad- ditional ten foot strip across the Boston and Maine Railroad land. A ten inch sewer was laid from Main Street a distance of 268.4 feet across these takings. The pipe under the track and on the land of the Rail- road was cast iron. From the center line of the taking and north on Merriam Street 505.9 feet of eight inch sewer was laid to the intersection of Hawthorne Street. Turning at Hawthorne Street and extending to the intersection of Evergreen Street 589.2 feet of eight inch tile was laid. On Evergreen Street from Hawthorne Street to Laurel Street 318.4 feet of eight inch was laid. This sewer was installed chiefly for the pro- tection of the water shed of Crystal Lake.
The Greenwood Sewer was started this year. A fifteen inch sewer- of Akron shale tile pipe was laid on Main and Hanson Streets. On Han- son Street 693.5 feet was laid while on Main Street 614.9 feet were laid. This sewer was connected into the original trunk sewer, and is the discharge line for the entire sewerage system east of Main Street in Greenwood.
SEWER MAINTENANCE
The entire system has been cleaned and inspected during the year.
SEWER CONNECTIONS
Applications for house connections to date 1362
Number of connections made 1206
Number of connections made during the year 89
Number of connections waiting 0
In conclusion I wish to extend my sincere thanks to each and every member of the department for their hearty co-operation in all emer- gencies.
I also extend my thanks to the heads and members of the various town departments for their support and co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
