In view of the limited amount available for water main extensions we were unable to make all the extensions for which we received applica- tions. There were ninety-six (96) house connections made during the year.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
The low level sewer pumping station, outlet and force main have been constructed and the system will be in use early in the spring. The second unit was completed in the Greenwood sewer area and seven (7) house connections have been made on Greenwood Avenue.
It is the purpose of the Board to continue a program of sewer con- struction both in Greenwood and the low level areas for several years until the principal parts of these areas are served.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
FILTRATION OF WATER SUPPLY
The Board have given considerable thought to improvement of our water and providing amply supply for the future. In compliance with article number 19 of the Annual Town Warrant, Weston and Sampson, Consulting Engineers, were engaged to study the water shed of Crystal Lake. In their report they recommend the purchasing of a small portion of land, filtering the water and constructing a dam across the south por- tion.
The estimated cost would be as follows :
Filters and appurtenances Standpipe on Hart's Hill
Dam
$145,000.00 17,500.00 74,400.00
$236,900.00
The filtration of the water will eliminate all odors and disagreeable tastes which have been at times prevalent during the last few years and produce water which will be on a par with any within the Commonwealth.
The Department purposes placing in the spring Town Warrant ap- propriate articles to effect this improvement.
The full report of the engineers giving interesting data as to analy- sis of the water and construction of the filter beds and dam is on file at the office of the Water Department and may readily be consulted by any of our citizens.
The Superintendent's report which follows gives complete details regarding constructions, improvements, etc., which will be of interest to the Town.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD

WATER SUPPLY
"Crystal Lake, Wakefield's water supply is at present thirty-five inches below high water mark.
The condition of the water in Crystal Lake continues to improve in quality although the taste at times is not quite up to the standard due to the growth of Algea.
RECONSTRUCTION
About 500 feet of 6" cast iron pipe was laid to take the place of the old 6" cement lined pipe which had to be relocated to make room for the new 24" outfall sewer on Nahant Street.
LOW LEVEL SEWER
A start was made this year on what is known as the Low Level Sewer System which will receive the sewerage from the buildings on the streets in low area east of Pleasant Street and east and south east of the Centre Station, a section which, at the present time, is in great need of a sewer system. When this sysem is in commission the sewerage will all flow to a low point, namely, the Pumping Station located about 350 feet east of Valley Street near the Saugus River on Vinton Street (so- called). There it will be collected and pumped to the high point which is Nahant Street corner Traverse through 3000 feet of 16" cast iron pipe. From there it will flow by gravity to the main outfall sewer at the cor- ner of Main Street and North Avenue through 800 feet of 24" tile. pipe.
PUMPING STATION
The Pumping Station is constructed of cement concrete substructure and water struck brick superstructure with steel frame and slate roof. The building is 30'x32', one story high. One half of the basement is oc- cupied by the sump pit screens and the other half by the pumps, motors. boiler, venturi meter, coal bin, etc.
On the ground floor the west half is used for a screen room and grit chamber. There is a small toilet room in this half also.
The east side is occupied by the switch and instrument board, the venturi meter panel and a small office.
The building is lighted by electric lights and heated by hot water.
114
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Two one million gallon centrifugal pumps will be installed which should take care of the demand for some time to come. These pumps are driven by two 20 Horse Power 220 volt 3 phase motors. The pumps are to operate automatically with a small amount of attention.
FORCE MAIN
Starting at the Pumping Station the 16" cast iron force main runs in a southerly direction across private land to Valley Street, thence southerly on Valley Street to Hart Street, westerly on Hart Street to Nahant Street, north westerly on Nahant Street to Traverse Street where the Force Main terminates, and the 24" gravity outfall sewer starts.
GRAVITY SEWERS
1
A 24" tile gravity outfall sewer was laid from the trunk sewer at the corner of Main Street and North Avenue to Traverse Street on Nahant Street a distance of 1860' to receive the sewerage from the 16." cast iron force main. This sewer, will receive the sewerage from the buildings affronting on Nahan Street.
An eight inch tile gravity sewer was laid in the same ditch and at the same grade as the Force Main. By so doing a large amount of money was saved. A 24" gravity tile sewer was laid on Vinton Street (so-called) from the Pumping Station to Valley Street, thence north- erly on Valley Street to Water Street. This sewer constitutes the main feeder to the Pumping Station.
In Water Street an eight inch tile sewer was laid from Valley Street to Wakefield Avenue.
In Wakefield Avenue an eight inch tile sewer was laid from Water Street to Richardson Street.
In Columbia Road an eight inch tile sewer was laid from Water Street to Bancroft Avenue.
GREENWOOD SEWER
On Greenwood Avenue from Main Street to Madison Avenue a ten inch tile sewer was laid.
From Madison Avenue to Orchard Avenue on Greenwood Avenue a six inch tile sewer was laid.
