REPORT


OF THE


SEWER COMMISSIONERS.


The work of the Sewer Department for the past year has been carried out on the general plan as described in the printed report published in the early part of the year. Mr. George A. Kimball has continued to be the Engineer under whose supervision the new construction has been conducted.


Mr. Warren W. Rawson was elected a member of the Board of Commissioners for three years, taking the place made vacant by the death of Mr. George D. Tufts.


The details of the work for the year, both in construction and maintenance, are described in the following report pre- pared by Mr. Robert W. Pond, who has lately been ap- pointed General Superintendent of Sewers and Engineer in charge of Particular Sewers and House Connections. Mr. Pond's report also includes the details of the work on house connections, which has been done under the direction of Mr. Edward Hawes, Jr.


EDWARD S. FESSENDEN, WINFIELD S. DURGIN, 2 Sewer Commissioners. WARREN W. RAWSON,


ENGINEER'S REPORT.


To the Sewer Commissioners of the Town of Arlington.


GENTLEMEN-As requested, I submit the following data relative to the Sewerage System for the year ending Dec. 31,1897.


The construction of sewers has been extended during 1897 by the building of Sections 3 and 4 of the Arlington Sewer- age System. Section 3 comprises Broadway, from Alewife Brook, to about 400 feet west of Tufts Street ; Arlington Street from Broadway to Massachusetts Avenue ; and Cleve- land Street from Broadway to the end of sewer built in 1895.


The outlet for this section is by a connection with the Metropolitan Sewer on Broadway at Alewife Brook, ex- cepting about 400 feet on Arlington Street which drains into the Massachusetts Avenue sewer The connection on Broadway at the Metropolitan Sewer included the building of a Tidegate Manhole and Overflow, together with the usual Shut-off and Regulating Manholes.


The work was occasioned, in part, by the development of the property lying between Massachusetts Avenue and Broadway joining and including Cleveland Street.


On April 30, 1897, the Commissioners met to consider proposals for bids. Aab & Co. of Waltham were found to be the lowest of nine competitors, and were awarded the contract.


.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.


To provide proper sewerage for the lands on portions of Broadway and Arlington Street it was necessary to depress the pipe so that suitable grades might be secured to drain these portions. This resulted in deep cutting in places, the maximum being 17.6 feet. The character of the soil was of a sandy nature for the most part, with hard clay in the lower strata. Considerable water was encountered, neces- sitating the laying of an underdrain on Broadway from the regulator to Winter Street, and about 300 feet upon Arling- ton Street, in order to allow the masonry to set up in place.


While making the connection with the Metropolitan Sewer, owing to the depth of the excavation and the large quantity of ground water, it became necessary to erect a steam pump to relieve the underdrains, the hand pumps having proved inadequate. The work was satisfactorily completed July 21, 1897.


The contract for building Section 4 of the Arlington Sewerage System was awarded to H. A. Hanscom & Co. of West Medford, on July 6, 1897, they being the lowest of seven bidders.


This section comprises Whittemore Street, Avon Place, Palmer Street from Massachusetts Avenue to Broadway and Massachusetts Avenue from opposite Whittemore Street to near Lake Street.


In designing this sewer, which has an outlet through private lands from Whittemore Street by way of the sewer built in 1896, it was found that in order to obtain a proper slope throughout the length of Massachusetts Avenue, which it was proposed to drain, would entail so great an ex- pense on account of the deep cutting in the vicinity of the junction of Massachusetts Avenue and Whittemore Street, that it was deemed advisable to obtain a Right of Way through private property. Accordingly an agreement was entered


203


ENGINEER'S REPORT.


into with Messrs Clark and Deering for the above Right of Way, through which the sewer was laid to Avon Place and thence to Massachusetts Avenue


On Massachusetts Avenue, which is about 100 feet wide, the previous method used of laying a sewer beneath each sidewalk was adopted. By this method all congestion of travel, by the blocking of the street was avoided, also the abutters will be saved the cost of laying pipe between the sewer in its present location and the centre of the street when making connections with the sewer.


Throughout this section the soil was sand and dry gravel, and no water was encountered. The work was completed October 8, 1897 in a satisfactory manner. Also, beside the sections mentioned, there was constructed an Extension of the Gray Street sewer running easterly about 130 feet from Jason Street, also on Park Street Place from 'Park Street westerly about 120 feet through land belonging to Geo. D. Moore. These extensions were built at the request of the owners of the property.


There has been constructed to January 1, 1898, 66,733 feet or 12.64 miles of sewers of which 2.67 miles were con- structed the past year. The total cost of sewers, not in- cluding those in the Henderson Street district, which were built under a special appropriation, is $151,366.57.


The amount of sewer assessments is $76,713.71 of which $29,012.15 has been collected. There have been 169 as- sessments apportioned aggregating $11,654.31.


The Sewer Assessment Plans now number 98 and are securely bound in three volumes making them convenient for reference as well as insuring them against loss.


All the main sewer pipe used the past season was pur- chased in 1896 excepting 756 feet of 10-inch pipe and 7608 feet of 8-inch pipe including branches.


The annexed table gives the locations of the sewers to- gether with the size, length and number of manholes.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.


Particular Sewers.


Under this heading is contained all the data relative to the connections between the buildings and the sewers. The method employed during 1896,-all work being done by the Town,-has been continued the past year.


. To January 1, 1898, there was a total of 241 connections made with the main sewers, draining 279 buildings and representing a length of 15,974 feet or 3.02 miles, of which 7633 feet or 1.44 miles were laid during the season of 1897, at a cost of $5,271.68. The labor for the year, which includes superintendence, teaming and use of tools, cost $3,681.01, and the materials used $1,590.67, on a total of 129 connections.


The price per linear foot ranges from 34 cents to $1.56, and the average cost of 69 cents per foot includes the building of 16 manholes, the replacing of 16 patches of concrete in sidewalks, miscellaneous plumbing work amounting to $327.95, and the filling of 14 cesspools en- countered in making connections.


Early in the season the Commissioners purchased a quantity of 4-inch cast-iron soil pipe to be used under foundation walls and thus were able to furnish the same at a much less expense than would otherwise be possible.


Reference to the annexed table will give the number of connections, together with the buildings drained into each street, and the estimated number of persons using the sewers.


Maintenance.


The working of the sewers continues to prove satisfac- tory. Owing to the comparatively small number of con- nections, and especially on some of the small lateral lines, where there consequently is a light flow, it becomes neces- sary to flush the system at regular intervals, usually once in three or four weeks. The flushing is accomplished by plac-


205


ENGINEER'S REPORT.


ing movable plugs in the manholes, which are released after the manhole is filled with water from the water-mains.


Heretofore, it has been the custom to fill the manholes from nearby hydrants, but late in the year 30 connections direct into the manholes from the water-mains have been made and it is intended in the near future to equip the few remaining end manholes in like manner. By this means there will be a great saving in labor which has previously been required.


A growth of gelatinous matter accumulates in the Decatur and Henderson Street sewers, also an amount of scum near the outlets, which will not flush out but is re- moved by drawing a scraper or brush through the pipe.


Since the beginning of the Sewerage System, the Town has been obliged to hire engineering instruments. To provide for the continued need in the future the Commis- sioners, in December, 1897, purchased a new Buff & Berger Engineering Transit which will prove of great value to the Department.
