WATER DEPARTMENT.


A report upon the question of high water service was sub- mitted unto the Water Board early in the year, calling their attention to the importance of considering the question of an additional water supply and improved fire service, in connec- tion with that of a high water service which had previously been referred to me to report upon.


Anthority was obtained from the City Government to con- sider the whole question of the needs of the water service for the city, having in view not only the present, but also its future requirements.


In considering the question of an additional water supply, it became apparent that additional land bordering on the Charles River in the town of Needham would be required. Authority to take such land as was needed was obtained from the State Legislature by the passage of the following act.


Chap. 302. An Act to Provide an Additional Water Supply for the City of Newton.


SECTION 1. The City of Newton is hereby authorized to take, hold and convey into and through said city from the Charles River or from the ground near said river, at any con- venient point upon or near the same, water for the use of said city and the inhabitants thereof not exceeding five million gallons daily, including the one and one-half million of gallons daily which it is now authorized to take by chapter three hun-


42


dred and forty-four of the acts of eighteen hundred and seventy-two. All the provisions of said chapter three hundred and forty-four except as herein otherwise provided shall apply to the additional three and one-half millions of gallons daily so far as the same shall be taken or diverted from said river.


SECT. 2. Whenever said City of Newton shall desire to take water as herein provided it shall, by vote of its City Coun- cil, determine what amount daily it will take of said five million of gallons herein provided for, and it shall thereupon be lawful for said city to take only the amount daily from said river . provided for by said vote, in addition to the amount taken upon the provisions of said chapter three hundred and forty-four, and any damages provided for in said act shall be determined upon the amount to be taken by said vote. Whenever said City of Newton shall desire to take a further portion of said five million of gallons it shall again determine as aforesaid by vote of its City Council the amount in addition to be taken daily, and like proceedings may be had for damages as provided in said act; and like proceedings may be had from time to time as said City of Newton shall decide to take further portions or the whole of said five million of gallons daily.


SECT. 3. Said City of Newton may for the purposes of taking water as aforesaid and for the protection of its water supply take and hold, by purchase or otherwise, any lands within the town of Needham necessary for that purpose.


SECT. 4. This act shall take effect upon its passage. (Approved May 3, 1889.)


Borings to determine the nature of the drift material underlying the surface of the territory bordering on each side of the Charles River from the filtering conduit to the line be- tween Newton and Boston were made under the direction of Assistant Engineer, Mr. Fred O. Doane.


43


They were made by driving 2 1-2 inch wrought iron pipes with open ends into the ground and extracting the core with a sand bucket.


If these samples were taken continually during the driv- ing, the character of the substrata could be fairly determined.


The numerous complicated conditions affecting the best solution of the question submitted, rendered their most careful consideration imperative, and I requested authority to consult with Mr. A. Fteley of New York, Chief Engineer of the New York Aqueduct Commission, upon the whole question.


By vote of the Water Board the whole question was resub- mitted to Mr. Fteley and the City Engineer, to consider and report on at as early a date as possible.


I felt that Mr. Fteley as Executive Engineer for the Boston Water Board, having examined and reported upon the Charles River as a source of water supply for the City of Boston, was familiar with the conditions affecting our supply and having charge of the construction of the Sudbury River Conduit through the City of Newton at the time the Newton Water Works were being constructed, he was familiar with the topo- graphy of the city and the details of our works.


From this experience together with his high standing as an engineer of good judgment and broad experience, I felt that the results of the consideration of the question and the recommendations embodied in any report which would be sub- mitted, would be of greater value than could be obtained from any other source.


After the careful joint consideration of the questions sub- mitted, a report* together with estimates was submitted, and the recommendations adopted by the City Government. The necessary appropriations were made and work ordered to be done.


*For report see Water Board Report for 1889.


44


The order of the City Government taking lands in Need- ham and Newton for an additional water supply necessitated the examination of the records and the surveys and location of the boundaries of some 55 estates and about 1000 acres of land. The work is now being performed, but the flooded con- dition of the meadows makes the work very difficult.


Surveys have been made, levels taken and grades for the laying of water mains have been established on streets covering a total length of 17,786 3-10 feet.


There have been located two hundred and twenty-five services and extensions, laid during the year.


Plans, estimates and diagrams have been made of all special work of this department.


The regular meetings of the Water Board have been attended and such subjects investigated, or work superintended, as specially directed by the Water Board, Registrar or Super- intendent.


BOARD OF HEALTH.


As consulting engineer for the Board of Health, investi- gation and plans were made for the drainage of various dis- tricts, and by order of the Board the City Engineer was directed to carry out the plans for the drainage of the Knowles street district, Ward 6, and Clinton street district, Ward 2.


The work in the Knowles street district was executed by men in the employ of Mr. Arthur Muldoon at a cost of $570, and that in the Clinton street district by the highway depart- ment at a cost of $604.72. The work was carefully performed and the districts greatly benefitted.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


I would respectfully tender my acknowledgements to His Honor the Mayor, the Water Board, the Board of Health, and the various committees of the City Council, for the support which they have given.


I wish also to acknowledge the courtesies shown by the various heads of departments and the co-operation of the assistants of this department.


Respectfully submitted, ALBERT F. NOYES, City Engineer.
