The maximum loan on the system as recorded at the substation was 3,500 K. W. which is an increase of 300 K. W. over the previous. Specifica- tions covering equipment to give us additional capacity are being prepared and bids will be asked for in a short time.
The Greenwood circuit has been changed to three phase and we plan to change our other circuits as rapidly as possible.
Both gas and electric lines have been installed in Morel Circle to serve twenty houses in that development.
Eighty electric and sixty-six gas services were installed in various parts of the town to serve new houses, most of which were connected to existing lines.
The twenty-two Fire Alarm boxes which we received late in 1945 were installed, replacing older type of boxes and four new boxes were installed- No. 141 Robert St., No. 311 Jefferson and Hamilton Roads, No. 391 White Circle, and No. 394 Vernon St. near Juniper Ave. Eight new boxes have been purchased, six of them will be used to replace old boxes and two boxes for new locations. The Police Department has asked for a new box to be located near the Mapleway Playground.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
37th Annual Report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board
The year 1946 was the first year since the beginning of the war that any considerable amount of new construction was carried on by the Water and Sewer Department. However, due to the continued shortage of labor and difficulties in obtaining materials not all of the work voted at the 1946 Town Meeting was completed. Funds for a considerable portion of such work were raised by Bond Issue and therefore these funds are now avail- able to permit continuance of this work in 1947. An important job which was completed in 1946 was the replacing of the old 12" cement lined pipe in Albion Street with 12" cast iron pipe. This pipe was replaced from Lake Street to Green Street, Stoneham and 900 feet of similar pipe was replaced in Lake Street.
In 1945 a special Town Meeting voted $5,000.00 for the use of the de- partment in obtaining an engineering survey of the principal areas of the town which are not sewered. Prof. Charles O. Baird was engaged for this work and made surveys and investigations during 1945 and 1946. He has recently completed the work under the appropriation and has submitted a full report together with drawings of the areas which he has surveyed. Prof. Baird made complete preliminary surveys and designs of the two main trunk sewers as well as special investigations of several independent areas which constituted independent problems and required special considera- tion. A complete system of maps was prepared covering the area of 250 acres which was surveyed by the engineer.
The two main sewers studied by Prof. Baird and described in his report consist of the Montrose Main Sewer and the Woodville-Greenwood Main Sewer. The Montrose Sewer consists of a trunk sewer beginning at the Low Level Sewage Pumping Station behind the Nasella Playground and running in a northerly direction along the old Electric Railway right of way to New Salem Street, thence along the easterly side of the Boston & Maine Railroad to Lowell Street and through the Forest Glade Cemetery. Within the cemetery the sewer divides, one branch running easterly behind Cool- idge Park and the adjoining streets and a second branch continuing north to Lyons Lane, thence westerly across the railroad tracks to Vernon Street to serve the northerly portion of Vernon Street and the adjoining area. Another main branch of the Montrose Sewer will extend northeasterly along New Salem Street to the junction of Lowell Street. These main sewers which will serve the Montrose and adjacent areas have been com- pletely studied so that the cost of work can be estimated and so that the preparation of construction drawings can be started with relatively little delay.
156
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
The proposed Woodville-Greenwood Main Sewer will begin at the pre- viously mentioned pumping station and will extend in a southerly direction to Nahant Street, thence along Oak Street as far as Atwood Street. A suit- able location has been worked out so that this main sewer can deliver sewage by gravity to the Low Level Pumping Station. Complete surveys of the area through which the sewer passes have been prepared and are avail- able for other extensions within the area.
All areas surveyed by Prof. Baird have been completely mapped and are related to a coordinate system established by him which will readily permit further extensions to the system in the future. These maps will un- doubtedly be of distinct value not only to this department but to the other departments in the town. A complete series of vertical control points throughout the area have been established and the elevation of 113 bench marks are available for future use.
Although the $5,000.00 appropriation was sufficient for investigating some of the most important unsewered portions of the town it was not adequate to investigate all of the areas which require study. Some of the remaining sewerage problems which should be studied in advance in order to determine methods of providing sewerage facilities include the follow- ing: North Avenue near the Reading line; the development in the vicinity of Cutter Street adjacent to North Avenue; Lowell Street; Main Street, and the adjacent streets at the head of the lake near the Reading line; practically all of the Wakefield Park area; Water Street near Farm Street and the end of Montrose Avenue adjacent thereto; the southeast portion of Greenwood beyond the limits of the present sewers; Lake Avenue and Spaulding Street including the area near the boathouse; and other isolated spots which constitute special sewerage problems.
Due to the impetus of the house building program several new streets have been accepted during the year and undoubtedly many others will be accepted by the town within the next year or two. Such building activity produces an immediate demand for new water mains and undoubtedly these new developments will require the construction of many additional sewers. The volume of such work will tax the capacity of the department almost to the limit aside from the construction of the main trunk sewers to areas which are not sewered at present.
Some of the work which must be contemplated by the department within the next few years is itemized below. Since most of this work will require the expenditure of considerable sums of money it is recorded here- with in order to keep these items before the voters:
Water System
1. Even though a considerable portion of the old 12" cement lined pipe in Albion Street was replaced last year, there is still about 18 miles of this old cement lined sheet iron pipe still in use. It is essential that all of this pipe be replaced within the next few years, and just as soon as con-
157
REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
ditions permit the program of replacement must advance at a more rapid rate.
2. The Stoneham Standpipe is now 63 years old and the need for its replacement is undoubtedly imminent.
3. The replacement of the existing wooden shed on the north side of Broadway with a fire resisting building for storage purposes is an im- portant consideration which the department has had in mind for several years.
4. More than half of the water used by the town is pumped by the Broadway Station. This station is an old building with a wooden roof and if a fire should occur it might be extremely serious and costly for the town. We believe that sprinklers would be cheap insurance.
5. At present the steam plant at the Broadway Pumping Station is kept in readiness for standby use in case of electric power failure. If a gasoline standby is installed it will be possible to eliminate the steam plant and licensed operators will not be required. Sewerage System
1. Many requests have been received for the extension of sewers in streets not sewered at present and many house owners are desirous of ob- taining sewer connections from their homes to existing sewers. The scarcity of vitrified pipe and cast iron soil pipe as well as the shortage of labor have contributed to the inability of the department to keep up with the demands. Undoubtedly the coming year will see an ever greater demand, on the part of property owners, for the construction of new sewers.
2. As previously discussed, preliminary surveys for the Montrose Main Sewer have been completed and the probable location established to such an extent that this project can go forward rapidly if desired. The demand for sewerage in the Montrose district will undoubtedly be much greater as the construction of new homes in that area progresses. Montrose is the only well developed large area of the town which is not sewered at the present time and the construction of this sewer must be given serious con- sideration by the town within a very few years. The construction of such a sewer is a major operation and can not be contemplated until the avail- ability of both material and labor is greatly improved over conditions which held during the past year.
For further details of the departmental work refer to the report of the Superintendent.

WATER DEPARTMENT PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS
A half-ton Chevrolet pick-up truck was purchased by the department during the year.
WATER SUPPLY
Crystal Lake is, at the present time, 22 inches below high water mark.
Water has been pumped from the driven well supply at Sexton Avenue every day and from the dug well off Bay State Road every night during the year.
FILTRATION PLANT
The Filtration Plant has produced an excellent quality of water. During the year 218 tons of sand were purchased and trucked from Plum Island to replace the sand removed in cleaning and scraping the filters. Also ap- proximately 500 tons of sand has been rewashed and is ready for replace- ment in filters as soon as time will permit.
MUTUAL AID CONNECTIONS
It has been unnecessary, during the year, to use any of the mutual aid connections either by this town or adjoining towns.
SPRINKLER SYSTEMS AND FIRE PIPES
There are, at the present time, 28 sprinkler systems and fire pipes in the town and 15 private hydrants which are supplied with water by this department and for which we receive no recompense. Two sprinkler sys- tems were added during the year namely, one at Fellmongers on Foundry Street and one at the Fraen Corporation in the rear of 324 Main Street.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
GRAVITY SEWER SYSTEM
The Gravity Sewer System has received its yearly inspection and tree roots and other refuse have been removed where necessary with the Flex- ible Sewer Rod Equipment.
LOW LEVEL SEWER SYSTEM
The Low Level Sewer System is in its usual excellent condition. During the year the grit chambers have been cleaned and the contents disposed of outside the town limits.
The Sewer Pumping Station serves its purpose but, as mentioned in last year's report, the load on the station is constantly increasing and it will soon be necessary to install at least one pump.of larger capacity.
