BONDED DEBT
On January 1, 1935, the bonded debt of the Water Department was $70,000.00. There will be paid during 1935, $10,000.00 on the principal of this debt and $2,- 800.00 interest.
REVENUE
The total revenue of the Department collected during 1934 amounted to $41,718.41, divided as follows : Plymouth System $39,180.97
Manomet System 2,537.44
$41,718.41
MANOMET WATER SYSTEM
The Water Commissioners desire at this time to make a final report to the Town regarding the Manomet Water System.
On September 12, 1932, the Town made an appropria- tion of $90,000.00 to buy the necessary pipe, hydrants, gates and standpipes to construct a water system at Man- omet in substantial accordance with a plan which had been submitted to, and discussed by, the Town at earlier meetings.
On September 23, 1932, the Water Commissioners (as shown in detail in their report for 1932) awarded con- tracts for 63,050 ft. of pipe, 50 hydrants, 45 10-in. gates, 15 8-in. gates and 70 6-in. gates and other necessary material to build this system.
Fortunately for the Town, the price of material at the time these contracts were let was very low, making it possible to put in more pipe and a greater number of hydrants and gates than was originally planned, the re- sult being that we are able to report that the present Manomet System comprises 64,284 ft. pipe, 44 10-in. gates, 41 8-in. gates, 96 6-in. gates and 72 hydrants.
It may be of interest to record here that the present prices (January 1935) of 10-in., 8-in. and 6-in. pipe are about 66% higher than the prices paid by the Town in September 1932.
-81-
At the present writing, there are 111 services and meters on this system and the revenue collected in 1934 was $2,537.44.
Inquiries from local fire insurance agents having risks in Manomet show that there has been a substantial re- duction in insurance rates for all properties adjacent to the new pipe line. In Manomet Village, this reduction was 44% and at White Horse Beach, 20% in the rates pre- vailing prior to the installation of the water system.
CHILTONVILLE
In our report of a year ago, it was suggested that some 6-in. and 4-in. pipe on Clifford Road be replaced with 8-in. and a new 8-in. line be laid on Sandwich Road, ex- tending from Bramhall's Corner, socalled, to the junc- tion of the Sandwich Road and Chfford Road. Sufficient funds having been allocated for this work by the Select- men (from a $50,000.00 appropriation made by the Town), the necessary material was purchased and 17,260 ft. of 8-in pipe was laid and 12 new hydrants set. This work was undertaken as an ERA project, only skilled la- bor for laying the pipe being furnished by the Water De- partment.
The completion of this job made a very substantial im- provement in fire protection for all properties along the line of pipe renewed.
NELSON STREET
Acting upon the suggestion of the Selectmen, that an- other ERA project be submitted by the Water Commis- sioners, it was recommended that 1,100 ft. of 4-in. pipe on Nelson Street be replaced with 8-in. pipe. This project was approved and the work was completed the last week of December 1934. Three new hydrants were set on this street and an old one removed.
Farm Sin
-82-
DEAD ENDS
One dead end at McKinley Road has been eliminated by extending with about 100 ft. of 6-in. pipe to connect with the 6-in. main on Lothrop Street, greatly improving the circulation.
WATER STREET
On Water Street, 457 ft. of 6-in. pipe was laid (from Brewster Street, northerly, to middle of Mabbett's Mill) to replace old 4-in. pipe. Two new hydrants were set and an old one removed.
MAYFLOWER PLACE
About 175 ft. of old 2-in. pipe on Mayflower Place was replaced with 21/2-in. pipe.
RECOMMENDATION
We have already received several applications for ex- tensions of main on the Manomet System. These will be considered by the Water Commissioners during the coming year and it is probable that some extensions will be made as ERA projects.
We recommend an appropriation of $26,000.00 for maintenance for the year 1935.
There are several sections in the down town distribu- tion system that would be greatly improved by renewal. Since it seems probable that there will be a considerable amount of Welfare labor available during 1935, we rec- ommend an appropriation of $2,000.00 to purchase pipe and fittings for this purpose.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM R. MORTON, Chairman JOHN L. MORTON FRANK D. BARTLETT RICHARD T. ELDRIDGE Board of Water Commissioners.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
Gentlemen :
In accordance with the custom of this Department, I submit herewith the annual report of the Superintendent of the Plymouth Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1934.
The principal work of the Department during 1934 was a continuation of the construction of the Manomet Water System and several projects (renewals of old pipe and a few small extensions) which were done under the CWA and ERA, all of which are mentioned in detail in other sections of this year's report.
POND HEIGHTS AND STORAGE
Plate I is the usual chart showing monthly and an- nual rainfall from 1925 to 1934 inclusive and the cor- responding change in pond heights and storage volume for that period.
The high ponds and increase in storage volume from September 1933 to September 1934, I attribute to the high rainfall (60.11 inches) of the year 1933.
The average annual rainfall for Plymouth is 45.88 inches and the 1933 was, thus, 14.23 inches above the av- erage. This resulted in a greater storage volume during 1934 than we have had any year since 1923 and appears to confirm earlier observations "that a period of about one year elapses before the results of a very high or very low rainfall are reflected by corresponding changes in storage volume in Great and Little South Ponds."
-87-
CONSUMPTION
Plate II shows the variation in weekly consumption for each week of the year 1934.
Comparison of the average daily consumption for 1934 with that of 1933 shows the following relation :
The average daily consumption on the Low Service system for 1934 was 346,000 gallons, a decrease of 16,000 gallons per day from the 362,000 gallons daily of 1933.
On the Old High Service system, the average daily con- sumption for 1934 was 813,000 gallons, an increase of 80,000 gallons per day over the 733,000 gallons daily of 1933.
On the New High Services system, the average daily for 1934 was 36,000 gallons, an increase of 12,000 gal- lons per day over the 24,000 gallons daily of 1933.
The average daily total consumption for 1934 was 1,- 195,000 gallons, an increase of 76,000 gallons daily over the 1,119,000 gallons daily of 1933.
The abnormal weather conditions for several months of the year 1934 added materially to the cost of operating the Water Department during the year.
The unusually cold weather of January and February was responsible for freezing 91 services and 1,500 ft. main. The approximate cost of thawing these being about $2,000.00.
The severe weather also caused a material increase in the amount of water used (an increase of ten million gal- lons for January and February 1934 over the amount used for the corresponding period of 1933.
The extreme drought of July and August also had the effect of increasing the consumption during those two months by sixteen and a half million gallons over the con- sumption for the same period in 1933.
In other words, the total consumption for the year 1934 was probably increased between twenty-six or twenty- seven million gallons over the normal consumption, due to the combination of cold and drought during the year.
