REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
The Water Commissioners herewith submit their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1894. The town now has two independent systems, the old or gravity system and the new or high pressure system. The water for the old system has been furnished the past year from the filters in connection with the brook, which was turned two years ago direct into the filters and not having to draw any water direct from the reservoir. At times water has been drawn from the great meadows to increase the flow of the brook. By prohibiting the use of lawn hose for a time and keep- ing a sharp watch upon the takers of water for irrigation we were enabled to furnish enough water of good quality for domestic use. During the past few years there has not been sufficient water of good quality to supply all the demands, and the Board has considered various plans for remedying this, one is to supply all large takers through meters, an- other is to shut off during the dry season the services through which water is taken for irrigation.
There is a constant increase of takers every year, there being about sixty new services added the past year. While there is an abundance of water the difficulty arises of furnish- ing water of good quality, and it has been thought that in connection with the filters and brook the water could be taken from the high pressure service by means of reducing pressure valves and turned into the low pressure pipes, thus furnishing what the brook and filters fail to supply. Most of the pipes of the old system are cement-lined pipes. They have been laid about twenty-two years and are commencing
115
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
to cause considerable expense in repairs, by frequent bursts. This was especially true on Lake street, a number of breaks having occurred there in the last two years. On May 19 lightning struck on this street, and, entering the pipe, shattered it for a long distance. About 740 feet of six- inch iron pipe was laid as a temporary means of supplying the street with water, and as the rest of the pipe was in a bad condition it was decided to put in an eight-inch iron pipe from the avenue to where the ice houses were burned, and a six-inch iron pipe from this point to Pleasant street, with hydrants every 450 feet, thus giving a good protection in case of fire. Work was begun and about 1500 feet of eight inch pipe were laid when cold weather interfered. This will be completed in the early spring as now the ends of the pipe are plugged, not giving a circulation from the avenue to Pleasant street. The pipe and hydrants for this street were bought with those for the high service, thereby get- ting them at a very low price. The hydrants on the old pipe are of an old pattern, very liable to get out of order and are otherwise unsuitable. For this reason new hydrants are put in where new pipe is laid. Other streets where the pipe is giving trouble by constant breaks will need to be replaced by iron pipe of larger size. This will call for an annual expense until the old pipe is all relaid. Four inch pipe has been laid on Whittemore street and King's court, and two inch pipe on North Cross street and Fremont street, all four streets being private ways. Before laying pipe in private ways the Board requires the abutters to sign an agreement giving the town authority to enter and lay the pipe and agreeing to hold the town harmless in case of any damage caused thereby. Early in the year a large fourway post hydrant was set on Massachusetts avenue just below the R. R. crossing in place of an old hydrant and a large new post hydrant was set in place of the old flush hydrant near the Town House. These in connection with the hydrants on the high service will give a good fire protection in the centre

of the town. For the details in the works of extension of street mains, putting in new services, repairing leaks, etc., for the past year we refer you to the Superintendent's report, for water receipts for the past year to the report of the Treasurer, and for statistics as to the purposes for which water is used to the report of the Water Registrar.
HIGH SERVICE.
At the Town meeting held May 28, 1894, it was voted, " That the Town extend its water-works and system of water service and establish and maintain high service in substantial accordance with the reports and plans submitted to the town by its committee appointed Jan. 26, 1892," and appropriated $92,000 to pay for the same, the money to be raised by issuing bonds in accordance with provisions of Chap. 412 of the Acts of 1892. Works was at once commenced. Mr. F. L. Fuller, the engineer who had made the plans and estimates for the committee of investigation was engaged to superintend the construction. While arranging the work it was deemed advisable to obtain further legislative authority for the town to lay water pipes in Main street, now Massachusetts avenue, in the town of Lexington, and the Legislature granted the desired authority. Specifications were prepared and bids invited from responsible parties for the various items. Nine contracts were made, as follows : For cast-iron pipe with the Donaldson Iron Co. of Emaus, Pennsylvania, at $21.41 per ton of 2240 pounds delivered at Arlington. For laying pipe with E. Eugene Eglee, of New York City, at 20 cents per lineal foot for 6 inch pipe, 24 cents for 8 inch, 28 cents for 10 inch and 33 cents for 12 inch, with 50 cents per cubic yard for extra earth excavation and four dollars per cubic yard for rock excavation. For furnishing and erecting the stand pipe with the Davis & Farnham Mfg. Co., of Waltham, for $8040. For building the pumping station with A. L. Bacon, of Arlington, for $4321. For the pump and boiler, including fittings erected in place, with the Geo. F.
117
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Blake Mfg. Co., of Boston, for $4018. For gates with the Ludlow Valve Co., of Troy, N. Y., at $31.15 for 12 inch, $24.60 for 10 inch, $17.20 for 8 inch and $11.50 for 6 inch. For hydrants with the Chapman Valve Co., of Boston, at $29.15 for 5 inch and $25.34 for 4 inch. For special castings with the Builders' Iron Foundry, of Provi- dence, R. I., for $1826.34. The Pittsburg Testing Labora- tory, of Pittsburg, Pa., was employed to inspect the pipe at the foundry at 30 cents per ton of 2000 pounds, and the pipe received has been of good quality.
The work of excavating for the foundation of the stand- pipe, driving and connecting the wells at the pumping sta- tion, laying the pipe in Walnut and Mt. Vernon streets and the short street connecting them, together with some inci- dental work has been done by our Superintendent with town labor. The cast-iron pipe and special castings and the gates and hydrants have all been delivered. The standpipe and foundation are practically completed. The pump, boiler and station building are nearly completed. The wells and their connections have been ready for some time. The pipe is nearly all laid at Arlington Heights, Crescent Hill and in Massachusetts avenue, Jason, Walnut and Mt. Vernon streets. It is anticipated that the work will all be completed and the whole plant in steady operation early the coming spring. The Commissioners desire to express to the town their appreciation of the generosity of Mr. F. G. Sampson in assisting them in securing the site for the standpipe.
In the estimates presented by the investigating Committee $1000 was provided for a site for the standpipe and they had bonded a suitable lot which could be purchased for that sum. A number of the residents of the Heights requested the com- missioners to locate the standpipe in the centre of the park, the highest point on the hill, and after considering the mat- ter the Commissioners made an offer of $2500 for this site which was all that, in their opinion, could be spared from the appropriation for this purpose. This offer was refused
118
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
At this time Mr. Sampson came forward and purchased the lot, paying $3000 therefor, and sold it to the town for $2500, thus making the town a present of $500 in addition to the time and trouble he had been to in conducting the negotiations. The town thus secures a tract of more than two acres which can always be kept open for the use of the public.
The water for the high service system is drawn from a bed of gravel on the shore of the Lexington Great Mead- ows, near the East Lexington R. R. station. There are 25 2} inch wells driven to a depth of about 35 feet. These are connected together by cast-iron pipes leading to a Blake compound duplex pump which is supplied with steam from a sixty horse power steel boiler. The pump and boiler are located in a brick building with a brick chimney 75 feet high, and are guaranteed to pump 500 gallons per minute or 720,000 gallons in 24 hours into the standpipe against a head of 270 feet. The water is pumped through cast iron pipes into a wrought iron standpipe 40 feet in di- ameter and 60 feet high, holding over 500,000 gallons, and located in the centre of the park at the top of Arlington Heights. From this the water is distributed through cast- iron pipes as shown on the plan accompanying the report of the investigating committee. In adding the High Service System to our water works it was found necessary to have better accommodation for shop work, as the old shop under the Town House would not be convenient, nor is it large enough even for the present system, we therefore leased from Mr. S. A. Fowle a lot of land on Mill street for a term of ten years, at a rental of $62.50 per year. A suita- ble shop and stable has been erected on the lot.
The foundation for the building was put in by our Super- intendent with town labor, and the contract for the building was awarded to Mr. E. O. Simonds for $1260. The building will be a great convenience and will afford accommodation

Service Pipes.
65 services have been added during the year at an average of $10.30 each, making the total cost $669.50.
Leaks.
The usual number of leaks have occurred during the year, the most serious happened on Saturday morning, May 19, when the lightning entered the 4-inch main on Lake street, completely destroying it for a distance of 740 feet, which had to be replaced temporarily by a 6-inch cast-iron pipe at a cost of $615.40 :

On Nov. 23d, in compliance with your order I commenced to replace the 4-inch cement-lined pipe with an 8-inch cast- iron main, beginning at a point between the two ice tracks, but owing to the severity of the weather I had to discontinue the work until spring opens. 1550 feet of pipe have been laid, and four 5-inch hydrants and one 8-inch gate have been set, at a cost of $1179.41.

Brook.
The brook leading direct to the reservoir upon which we depend for our main supply during the dry months has been cleaned from the junction of Monroe's brook to where it enters the 20-inch main that leads to the filter gallery, and is in fair condition. I would recommend the stoning up of the sides of the brook a part of the way, especially where it passes through pasture land.
Hydrants and Gates.
Six new fire hydrants have been added this year, viz : Two on Grove court, one on Medford street and three on Lake street.
The hydrants and gates are in fair condition, though some of them will need replacing in the near future.
Recommendations.
I would recommend the laying of an 8-inch main pipe on N. Union and Decatur streets, and the setting of a suitable number of hydrants. The pipe as it is at present is totally unfit for the service that is required of it and is only a bill of expense to the town.
Respectfully submitted.

Superintendent of the Water Works.
