REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


As required, the commissioners submit their report for the year 1892.


In submitting the same, we are pleased to be able to say, that matters connected with the water-works for the past year show a very favorable improvement.


We have put in forty-three street services, at an average cost of $10.30. .


Pipes have been laid in the following streets :


Draper avenue, 4-inch iron pipe, 432 feet.


Fairview avenue, 66 576 “


Whittemore street, 66 336 “


1,344 feet.


In connection with each of these, a fire hydrant was set, making the total number of hydrants in town at the present time, 117.


The amount received from water rates for 1892 was $16,432.27, an increase of $939.16 over 1891. Amount of balance cash on hand December 31, 1892, $2877.80.


The Treasurer's report will give a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures.


The amount paid for interest for the year 1892 was $11,020, against $16,720 in 1891, a difference of $5700.


This is occasioned by the payment of $217,000 six per cent. Water Scrip, which fell due January 1, 1892, from the proceeds of the sale of $183,000 four per cent. Water Bonds, the balance, $34,000, being furnished from the sinking fund.


93


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


The amount of Water Bonds at this date is :


$74,000 at five per cent. per annum, $3,700 00


183,000 at four 7,320 00


$11,020 00


It will be seen that no appropriation was made for interest on Water Scrip in 1892.


This is the first year in the history of the works, that the system has been self-sustaining, a condition, which, to say the least, is very gratifying ; and, with the balance on hand, as shown above, together with the very probable amount of receipts for water rates for the coming year, the commis- sioners see no cause to doubt but that sufficient funds will be in hand, to meet necessary obligations, without asking the town for an appropriation for the coming year.


We anticipate the laying of considerable new pipe during the coming year, from which source is realized much of the yearly additional income. Especially is it the purpose of the commissioners to extend the pipe in Jason street, now that a grade has been established ; but for this reason, and this alone, it would have been done before now. Business principles demand that the grade of all streets be estab- lished before pipe is laid in them.


The water question, as referred to in the commissioners' report of two years ago, still presents itself as of great im- portance to the town.


One of the ideas suggested, that of diverting the supply of water so that it should not enter the reservoir, has been carried out.


It would have been well, no doubt, to have made the change before ; but so long as a deficiency of income existed from year to year, to meet expenses it was thought best to defer action ; but the financial condition of the water works was found this year, considerably changed for the better ; and this fact, together with the state of the water, prompted action.


All will see, of course, that the move was more or less


94


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


experimental, but the exigencies of the case warranted the taking of chances, with results that speak for themselves.


The water was introduced, direct from the supply brook, into a 20-inch Akron pipe at a point some 300 feet above the reservoir, thence carried along the north bank of the reservoir about 1300 feet, there entering the main distribu- tion pipe.


The laying of this pipe was found to be considerable of an undertaking. In order to make grade, much of the way was, of necessity, very deep ; ledges were also encountered, necessitating much blasting; but, for all this, the commis- sioners felt that the probable result to be obtained would warrant the outlay.


The water was introduced into this pipe system July 6, last, and we feel that from that time to the present, the benefits, together with the satisfaction derived from the change for the better in the quality of the water, are beyond question.


It was also thought advisable, the better to protect the purity of the water supply, that a pipe be laid, to take the drainage from the Winship farm, to the waste brook below the reservoir.


A 10-inch pipe has been laid for this purpose, for a greater part of the way, which will be carried to completion as soon as conditions will permit. A connection was also made with the water main, so that this drain-pipe can be used for flushing, should occasion require.


Much more can be said in regard to the water question. This new arrangement, in so far as it goes, is very well.


The capacity of this system was put to considerable of a test last summer, and it stood up wonderfully well,-much beyond expectations, and we think those who received the water were well pleased at the improvement shown ; but we are satisfied, however, that the condition of the water service, as to the amount of supply, is not adequate to our wants for domestic and fire purposes in all parts of the town, and it is the idea' of your commissioners, as expressed


95


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


in previous reports, that some move should be made toward supplying sections, which, from location or other causes, are unable to obtain a supply of water from the town; permis- sion to issue $150,000 water bonds, in case they are wanted for this purpose, having already been obtained from the legislature.


Some inconvenience has been caused during the cold weather, by street service pipes freezing. Some pipe break- age has also occurred during the year (but not quite as much as last) notably on the same streets, as reported in former years.


Mr. Thomas Roden, as for the past few years, remains in charge of the work.
