TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
During the year the Electric Department installed:
19,284 feet of primary wire 28,120 feet of secondary wire 148 new services 119 poles
and the Gas Department installed:
3,246 feet of gas mains 1,704 feet of service pipe 24 new services
At the end of the year there were 4,553 gas meters and 7,322 electric meters in use, which is a decrease of 2 gas meters and an increase of 125 electric meters.
ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
The electric load reached a new peak of 8,424 K.W. This increase was only 2% over 1955, due to mild weather in December and also because of controlling the pumping stations and certain other loads during our peak hours. However, our total sales were 29,877,371 kilowatt hours, an increase of more than 11%.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
A total of 32 transformers (1830 KVA) were installed during the year. These included distribution transformers and Commercial and Industrial installations. Six transformers (1050 KVA) were installed at Transitron Electronics Corp. When the Atwell Junior High School was rewired, we installed 3-75 KVA transformers in their new vault.
At the time North Ave. was widened, underground cable was installed, from Chestnut to Church Sts., and the poles and overhead wires were re- moved.
STREET LIGHTING
As a continuation of our annual relighting program, 37 aluminum standards with mercury vapor lamps were installed on Main St., Lakeside. New lights were also placed on Church St., Richardson Ave., West Water St., Armory St., part of Albion St. and on North Ave., from Main St. to Church St.
MAINTENANCE
In order to reduce damage and interruptions of service from storms, we engage a tree service contractor to trim trees over our wires and to re- move diseased trees. Approximately 1/3 of our lines are cleared each year by this tree trimming program, accomplished under the supervision of the Tree Supervisor of the Public Works.
EXPANSION PROGRAM
Two new circuits will be constructed next year; one for a substantial increase in power at Transitron Electronics and the other for the American Mutual Liability Insurance Co.
We anticipate considerable additional growth in the next few years with the development of the industrial site on Route 128.
89
145TH ANNUAL REPORT
GAS DEPARTMENT
Our total gas sales increased 10% and the gas sold for heating increased 50% over last year.
CONSTRUCTION
New gas mains were installed on part of Foundry St. and Broadway to provide a tie with existing lines as protection and additional capacity for large industrial users in that general area.
A new main was installed across the railroad bridge at Winn St. to provide a tie between gas lines on Elm St. and North Ave.
MAINTENANCE
We conducted our annual vegetation survey of gas mains. The survey, by a Company of specialists in this field, is considered a most effective means of leak detection and control. This company also completed a leak survey of all Schools, Public Buildings and Business and Commercial dis- tricts.
OFFICE
Additional heating capacity was installed at our office building, as well as a new and modern fireproof safe door for our vault.
