REPORT.


WATER BOARD OFFICE, CITY HALL, WEST NEWTON, JAN. 31, 1890.


To HIS HONOR, THE MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWTON :-


The Water Board begs leave to submit the following report of the transactions of the Water Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1889.


Membership of the Board.


At the close of the year 1888 Mr. Charles Fred Crehore and Alderman Pettee retired from the Board ; the first having served for a period of four years and the latter having been a member since 1886. The place of Mr. Crehore was filled by the appointment of Hon. Levi C. Wade while Alderman Harbach succeeded to the vacancy caused by the retirement of Alderman Pettee.


Main Pipe.


The total length of main pipe laid during 1889 was 17,786 feet which makes a total of 90.2 miles of main pipe laid throughout the city.


Section 13 of the Water Ordinance requires that no main pipe shall be laid unless the application for it is accompanied by a written agreement guaranteeing, for at least five years,


8


an income equal to five per cent. upon the cost of the pipe laid. During the past years it has been the practice of the Board to require upon some extensions a guaranty extending over a greater period than five years. The opinion had been growing, however, for some time that such a practice should be discontinued and it will be remembered that your honor- able body, at the suggestion of Alderman Harbach, passed an order which requested the Board to limit all guaranties to a period of five years. Such therefore will hereafter be the practice.


Service Pipes.


The number of service pipes laid during 1889 was 278 , of which number 225 were for new supplies and 53 were for renewals of old services. The total number of services now in use is 4,203.


Meters.


The number of meters set during the past year was 209, making the total number in use throughout the city at the close of the year 2,708.


Condition of the Works.


A comparison of the analyses of water taken from different parts of the works, led the Board to believe that the purity of the water might be improved by a cleansing of the reservoir at Waban Hill. This reservoir has been in use since 1876 and the bottom and sides had become considerably coated with a deposit which it was found desirable to remove. Upon emptying the reservoir it was discovered that the check- valves, which were intended to regulate automatically the in-flow and out-flow of water, were defective and had probably not been acting for a number of years, if they had ever perfectly performed their duty. Check-valves of a new and


9


improved pattern were substituted for the old and imperfect ones and the reservoir is now in excellent condition.


At the time of the cleansing of the reservoir, the pipe system of the city was subjected to new tests and it was discovered that certain improvements in the system could and should be made. The Chestnut Hill territory had previously been supplied directly from the reservoir; a new pipe was laid by means of which this section of the city can now be supplied directly from the pipes. The arrangement of the force mains, at the pumping-station, was such that under certain conditions the supply of water might be cut off from the whole city. This was remedied by the laying of pipes, fitted with valves so arranged that it is now almost impossible for any accident, which does not totally disable the pumping station, to entirely cut off the city's supply.


High Service and Additional Supply.


These two subjects have engaged the attention of the Board during the last year to a very considerable extent. As will be remembered, the petition of Leverett Saltonstall and others for a high service was referred to this Board in the latter part of 1888. The Board immediately began a thorough investigation of the subject and made a report to the City Council March 25, 1889, a copy of which report is as follows :-


HIGH SERVICE SUPPLY.
