At the March, 1928, Town Meeting the Town approved the layout of the new street extending from a point near Deep Water Bridge, northerly about 8,000', and began grading this street in July. When the grading had ad- vanced sufficiently pipe laying was begun and 3,000' of pipe was laid during the summer.


The balance of 8" pipe necessary to complete this work is now being made up and the work of laying the pipe will be begun as soon as spring opens.


Bids were received for a 50,000 gallon tank and tower and the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, the Chicago Bridge and Iron Works, for $3,450.00. The work has been satisfactorily completed and the final payment made.


The new pumping station at Deep Water Bridge will be built in the spring of 1929 and the pumps installed so that water should be supplied to the new system by August.


The unexpended balance on this work is $24,195.57 and is ample to complete the job.


A few extensions will probably be requested during the ensuing year and we ask an appropriation of $5,000.00 for this new construction work.


The regular maintenance expense of the department does not vary much and we recommend a continuance of the metering program. We therefore ask an appro- priation of $28,000.00 for maintenance and new meters for the year 1929.


For the details of the work done during 1928 reference may be made to the report of the Superintendent.

The year 1928 was a busy one for the Water Depart- ment and considerable new work was completed.


NEW HIGH SERVICE LINE


At the regular Town Meeting, held in March 1928, the Town appropriated $35,000.00 for grading and land dam- age on the newly laid out street extending from Town Brook, near Deep Water Bridge, northerly to land of Joseph Malaguti, a distance of approximately 8,000 feet.


The contractor began grading this road in July and in August the Water Department began laying the 8" main along those sections of the new work that are in cut.


No pipe will be laid in the fills until the spring of 1929, when the fills will have had a chance to settle through the winter.

There has been 3,000 feet of 8" pipe laid on this work in 1928, and eleven gates and four hydrants have been set.


STANDPIPE


Two bids were received for erecting a 50,000 gallon standpipe on a 29' tower.


One from the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company for $4,000.00 and one from the Chicago Bridge & Iron Works for $3,450.00


The bid of the Chicago Bridge & Iron Works was ac- cepted and the tank was completed and filled with water October 27, 1928.


Only minor leaks developed in the standpipe when it was filled and these were promptly repaired by the Chi- cago Bridge & Iron Works.


An inspection of the tank by the Chairman of the Water Commissioners and the Superintendent of Water Works satisfied them that the work was satisfactory and had been performed in a workmanlike manner.


Final payments were accordingly made on Oct. 31, 1928. In the spring, the small pumping station at Deep Wa- ter Bridge will be built and pumps installed.


While this work is going on the balance of the 8" pipe can be laid, and possibly by August 1929 water may be available on the new system.


METERS


There were 206 meters set during the year, making the total now in use 1,788, or 60% of all services are now metered.

POND HEIGHT AND STORAGE CHART


Plate I is a chart showing the pond height and storage fluctuations for Great and Little South Ponds.


This chart indicates that there was approximately 600 million gallons of water in storage in Great and Little South Ponds on January 1, 1929, a gain of 50,000,000 gal- lons over the amount in storage one year ago.


In this connection it is interesting to note that the total consumption for the year was about 489,000,000 gallons, while in 1927 it was about 547,000,000 gallons, a decrease of about 58,000,000 gallons.


CONSUMPTION


Plate II shows graphically the average daily consump- tion for each week of 1928, on the high and low service system and also the average daily total consumption for each week of the year.


The average daily low service consumption was 549,- 000 gallons, compared to 679,000 gallons in 1927, a de- crease of 130,000 gallons daily.


The average daily high service consumption was 788,- 000 gallons, compared to 821,000 gallons in 1927, a de- crease of 33,000 gallons.


The average daily total consumption for the year was 1,337,000 gallons, compared to 1,500,000 gallons in 1927, a decrease of 163,000 gallons.


The pumping records shown on the previous sheet give in some detail the records kept at the pumping station for the year.


HYDRANTS AND GATES


The regular semi-annual inspection of all hydrants and gates has been made and all are in satisfactory condition.

ANALYSES OF WATER


The State Department of Health has made the usual analyses of samples of water from our supply during the year 1928 and copies of these are on file in the office of the Superintendent.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR E. BLACKMER,


Superintendent.
