Sewers have been constructed in the following streets on the vote of the town:


Western avenue-300 feet, westerly from Elm street.


Charles street-From Main street to Birch Hill avenue.


Birch Hill avenue-From Nahant street, 250 feet southerly.


This work has been all completed and is in working order.


SEWER MAINTENANCE


The entire system including the low level system has been inspected twice during the year and thoroughly brushed and cleaned. The depart- ment is experiencing considerable difficulty, due to elm and poplar roots finding their way through the joints into the main sewer lines. These roots grow very rapidly after entering the sewer and cause frequent stoppages. When these stoppages occur, they must be relieved regardless of the hour of the day or night.


Manhole covers and frames have been raised, lowered, or replaced as necessary, to conform with new street grades. Also, new covers and frames have been installed where old ones have been found to be faulty or broken.
