The assessments for the following years cannot be given exact- ly, but are estimated to be about as follows:


1900 $4,200 00


1901. 5,500 00


1902 6,800 00


1903


7,600 00


1904. 8,900 00


The rebate on our 1900 assessment is estimated at about $910.00.


PUMPING STATION.


This now contains only the boiler, suction pipes, and air pump used in connection with the driven wells. Table I. gives the pumping statistics for the year 1899, with appended columns at the right giving corresponding statistics for the years 1897 and '98. It will be seen that the quantity of water used is decidedly on the increase, and is much more than it should be.


STAND PIPE.


According to a vote of the town at its annual town meeting the stand pipe, with a circular lot of land 80 ft. in diameter, was sold to the Commonwealth, and it is now cared for by the Metro- politan Water Board.


RESERVOIR.


The reservoir has received the usual cleaning and attention.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


WATER METERS.


On June 19th, 1899, new rules governing the use of water for other than domestic purposes were made, for the purpose of more equally assessing the charges for water and also for the preven- tion of unnecessary waste of water. To this end it was decided that all water for field irrigation, green-houses or hot-houses, hot- beds and wash-houses must be metered, and notices were issued fixing new meter rates for such purposes, which may be found in the Rules of the Water Works appended hereto. At the same time it was decided best not to meter water for domestic purposes and to limit the use of lawn hose to three hours per day, as is done in most communities to prevent the useless waste of water. 54 meters were added this year; 66 are now in use.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


STOCK.


There is on hand, in addition to small quantities of pipe and fittings of all sizes and necessary tools and fixtures for repairing and carrying on the works, about 3,000 feet of 6-in pipe, 1,536 ft. 8-in. pipe, 600 ft. 10-in. pipe, and 3,000 ft. service-pipe. !


RECOMMENDATIONS.


We make the following recommendations:


That all the cement-lined pipes on the low-service be replaced by iron pipes at as early a date as possible, beginning at the points where the pipes are giving the most trouble and where the pres- sure is highest. This is especially desirable to make available a' possible increase of about 10 lbs. per square inch when the reser- voir at Spot Pond shall have been completed.


That the water pipes be extended according to the established rules.


That the reservoir be maintained at its present level and used, if necessary, as a reserve or auxiliary water supply, the grounds around it to be laid out as a park whenever funds are available for such purpose.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE W. LANE, PETER SCHWAMB, - GEORGE P. WINN, Water Commissioners.

REPAIRS ON SERVICES.


Thirty-four services have been repaired, and 4 transferred from the low to the high, and 1 from the high to the low-service systems.

The hydrants have been examined and oiled recently; any found out of order have been repaired, and all of them are in good condition.


LEAKS IN MAIN PIPE.


We have had quite a number of leaks in the old pipe. It will always be an expense to the town as long as it is in use, besides the inconvenience and annoyance to the water takers when a leak occurs. It should be replaced by iron pipe as soon as possible.


METERS.


Fifty-four meters have been put in during the year; there are now 66 in use.


SHOP.


The shop is in good repair, but as more room was required, a new shed has been built for the wagons.


THE RESERVOIR AND BROOK.


Have been kept clean; weeds pulled up and brush cut down, and fences repaired where it was found necessary to do so.
