CLASS ODE
The surging sea is stretching far before; The purple mountains lie but just behind. Bright, lively waves dance on this sea; and more, A smiling sun is shining down so kind. At dock a ship is leaping with the waves. Across the meeting-place of sea and sky Are storm clouds which are dark as depths of caves;
103
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
The ship must penetrate these by and by, This one-manned craft prepared for voyage near. This happy port is just a starting place For travelers fearless and for those in fear. The water hides the dangers all must face. The ship is ready for its embarkation; The joyful port it leaves is graduation.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF JOINT WORKS
To the Joint Board of Water Commissioners of Abington and Rockland
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report as Joint Superintendent for the year ending December 31, 1945.
The usual analysis of water of Great and Little Sandy Ponds have been made by the Department of Public Health, also samples of water from Great Sandy Pond were mailed each month to Lawrence Experiment Station for bacterial examination.
All hydrants were tested during the year.
112
SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
The cottage owners with few exceptions have tried to keep their property in good condition.
Average pond level of 1945 was one foot higher than in. 1944.
During December of 1945 the pond level was within seven inches of the original high water mark.
The water level of the pond increased so fast during the fall that it was impossible to clear leaves out of pond in certain sections. The beaches were kept quite clean but. where the bushes overhang the pond it could not be done. These overhanging bushes should all be cut down, and this was intended to be done, but it has been impossible up to the present time to get extra help to do the work.
One new service added, three renewal of services and . three leaks repaired.
The financial account of the Joint works will be found. under the report of Water Registrar.
Receipts from telephone toll call $18.00

General
During the year, work was started on a ground water supply at Big Sandy Bottom Pond, and the water in the pond treated.
Early in the Spring tastes, odors, and high color from the water supply were noticeable. By April, tastes and odors rendered the water almost unpalatable in the both towns. Analysis by the State Department of Public Health showed that the tastes and odors were caused, by the de- composition of various types of algae, a vegetable growth in the pond.
The State Department of Public Health was consulted as to the satisfactory means to improve the quality of the water. A study was made by the Department, and a re-
116
SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
port submitted to the Board of Water Commissioners recommending either the installation of a filteration plant, or the locating of a ground water supply, as removing the tastes and odors from the pond itself, presented various obstacles. The Commissioners acting upon the recom- mendations of the State Board of Public Health considered both the filteration plant and the ground water supply. Decision was made in favor of the ground water supply, due to its many advantages. The State Board of Public Health has on many occasions advised the board to seek another source of water supply, on account of the many dangers of polution from inhabitants around the shores . of the pond.
Accordingly Howard E. Bailey, Consulting Engineer was retained, and the D. L. Mahar Co., of Cambridge, well contractors were hired to start exploration work for a suitable location.
After several tests, two locations, indicating a good quality, and a sufficient quantity of water, satisfactory to the State Board of Public Health, and our Engineer were established. At this time in order to continue the work required by the State Department, a Special Town Meet- ing was called to transfer $5000, from the Water Reserve for this purpose. The Town of Abington did likewise.
Work was continued and a complete gravel packed well 72 feet deep and forty-eight inches in diameter was con- structed. Tests were run under the supervision of the State Department and our Engineer. The results of the tests showed a quantity of water available, in excess of the present demands, and a water of high quality, clear, with no taste or odor, and a temperature of 52 degrees F. the year round. There was a small excess of iron. It is the opinion of the Engineers of the State Board of Health, that the iron content will decrease, as the well is used, and it is their recommendation, that a pump be installed, and the well put in to service, supplying the Town of Abington and Rockland with water. Changing over from the Pond to the Well will be gradual. At the beginning 25% of well
117
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
water will be pumped along with 75% pond water. The proportion will be increased after a few weeks, to 50% well water, 50% pond water, and then further increases of well water until the total supply is taken from the well. This will have the effect of conditioning the pipe system for the use of well water, in place of water from Big Sandy Pond.
In deciding in favor of a ground water supply, the Com- missioners considered initial costs, operation costs, chem- ical treatment, etc. as shown in the following comparisons.
Initial cost of one gravel well complete with pump, pipe lines, and building approximately $25,000, two gravel packed wells complete with independent power, pipe lines, pumps, and buildings approximately $50,000.
Initial cost of a filteration plant using present twenty- three year old pump, and present chlorine equipment ap- proximately $156,000.
Estimated cost of operation of well based on three hun- dred twenty-five million gallons per year, for power, necessary labor, and miscellaneous items, $8,500.
Estimated cost of operation of filteration plant, power, labor, maintenance, chemicals, $16,750.
Estimated entire cost per million gallons, based on three hundred twenty-five million gallons per year for well sup- ply $26.00.
Cost per million gallons based on three hundred twenty- five million gallons per year for filteration plant project, $51.00 plus continued maintenance around the pond, and plus continued purchase of land to protect pond.
Interest and bond retirement based on twenty years, for $50,000 well cost, $3,500 for first year.
Interest and bond retirement based on twenty years for $156,000, filteration plant cost $10,092 for first year.
118
SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
With the well supply no chemicals will be added to water. With a filteration plant chlorine, lime, alum, (cop- per sulphate in pond) would have to be added, plus acti- vated carbon for taste and odor removal.
With two wells, an alternate source of supply, each with a separate pump would be available, while with the fil- teration plant, the pond would be the only source.
The danger of polution of the water pumped from the wells, would be zero, while the filteration plant project, polution danger is always considered possible, when the treatment is dependent upon mechanical equipment.
Considering the foregoing, the Commissioners are of the opinion that the gravel well supply has decided ad- vantages over the filteration plant, and also in the event that iron did continue in the well supply, it can be removed mechanically without the addition of chemicals, and the cost of this equipment would not exceed $50,000. However, it is the opinion of the State Department of Public Health that such equipment will not be necessary.
It is the recommendation of our Engineer that an addi- tional well be constructed as an alternate supply. This would eliminate the need of maintaining the pond supply, resulting in a considerable reduction in maintenance and operation costs.
Pending the results of the well exploration work, con- sideration was given to emergency treatment of the pond for tastes and odors. After considerable study, activated carbon (finely ground form of charcoal) was chosen. This has the properties of removing tastes and odors from the water. One problem that using activated carbon pre- . sented, was, the possibility of its getting into the mains while the water was being pumped at the same time treat- ment was being made.
Three treatment were made, fifteen hundred pounds copper sulphate, three thousand pounds activated carbon being distributed in the pond in July, three thousand

pounds of activated carbon in August, resulting in a great improvement of the quality of the water. As this was the first time a treatment of activated carbon had been ap- plied to such a large body of water in Massachusetts, the satisfactory results were of considerable interest to the State Board of Public Health.
