Report of the Water Commissioner.
To the City Engineer :
In conformity with the City Ordinance the Water Commis- sioner presents the following as his Fifth Annual Report, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1871.
There have been ordered to be laid during the past year dis- tributing mains in 58 streets and avenues, of which 53 have been completed.
Bellevue one of the 5 remaining streets is unfinished on account of the regrading of the same at the crossing of Chandler street, which will be necessary when that street shall be com- pleted. Three of the other remaining streets, Wall, Suffolk and Southbridge were ordered so late there was not sufficient time to procure and lay the pipe before the season for laying pipes had closed. Wall, one of the above streets has been worked nearly all the time since it was ordered, as we had on hand some pipe of the required size, also a large portion of it is ledge which can be excavated to nearly as good advantage in cold as in warm weather. The other remaining street, Ward, has not been laid, as the kind or size of pipe has not been decided, it being in the pro- posed line of the high pressure pipe now under consideration.
There have been 450 feet, 12 in. pipe relaid between the stor- ing and distributing reservoirs, near the millof James Smith & Co. necessitated by the regrading of the road by the town of Lei- cester.
The whole amount of distributing mains laid this year is 35,- 438 feet. Old pipe relaid 450 feet, making a total of pipe laid this year 35,888 feet or a little more than 62 miles, a detailed account of which will be found in annexed table. In connection with the above pipe there has been set 80 Gates, and 30 Hydrants, also 9 Hydrants set on the old pipe, making the number of public
166
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 26.
Hydrants at the present time 418. Private Hydrants and shops piped for fire hose 48, making the whole number of availa- ble Hydrants 464, a list with location of same accompanying this report. 508 applications for service pipe have been made this year, of which 504 have been put in, the remaining 4 have been cancelled or withdrawn.
Sixty-six leaks have been repaired upon the pipes this year the cause of which can be seen by referring to the table on the fol- lowing pages. At present there are no leaks known, of any magnitude on the pipes which with fixtures connected with the same are in good working condition.
The appraised value of stock and tools on handis $25,490 13, a detailed account of which will be found on following pages.
