MAIN PIPE CONSTRUCTION
With the cessation of hostilities and removal of Federal Govern- ment restrictions on residential construction during the early Fall of 1945, it was immediately manifest that several housing developments requiring main water pipe extensions were in prospect. Due, however, to the acute shortage of building materials, and the large number of industrial strikes which prevailed, making shortages even more acute, developers were hard put to carry on their programs of home building. One large development, called "Cedarville," which is located on the for- mer Charles Wakefield Estate on Wakefield, Charles and Haverhill Streets, did succeed in starting six new dwelling houses, in the late Fall. As Charles Street in this vicinity was not served with a water main, and as plans recommended by the New England Fire Insurance Under- writers in their recent study for future development of the Reading water distribution system calls for a 12" water main on Charles Street, some 450 lineal feet of 12" cast iron main was installed from Wakefield Street Southerly, to supply these new homes. Severe freezing weather in December, accompanied by snow, stopped construction for the win- ter months, but it is expected this construction will be continued in 1946 to complete a connection at Charles and Pearl Streets, prior to the proposed Chapter 90 permanent pavement construction of Charles Street.
One other main water pipe extension was made in 1945, on Lake- view (private) Road, where four residences, which depended on private wells for drinking water, applied for town water under the 4% guar- antee method of extension. This extension totaled 620 lineal feet of 6" cast iron pipe, and one fire hydrant. Four houses were connected to the main.
Prospects for water main extensions in 1946 appear to be of near- record proportions, provided building material and other construction supplies are procurable.
As of January 1, 1946, the Reading water distribution system com- prises 52.83 miles of water mains in sizes 6" to 12", besides other mains of smaller sizes.
Main Pipe Maintenance
No distribution main breaks, on pipes 6" or larger, occurred dur- ing 1945. A blown joint on a hydrant branch on Lakeview Road, and several minor leaks on 11/4" galvanized iron mains did occur, and were speedily repaired with negligible water loss.

Service Pipe Construction and Maintenance
Twenty new water services were installed during the year, of which all but four were installed from September on. Five services were in- stalled to old houses not previously serviced, four were to houses on the 4% water main extension, eight were to newly erected houses, one was for a garage, one a greenhouse, and one for a cook house. The twenty new services totaled 1472.10 feet in length, had an average length per individual service of 73.60 feet at an average cost of service to owners of $39.27. The services ranged in size from 3/4" to 2", and all were of cement lined pipe. As of January 1, 1946, there are 44.08 miles of service pipe in use in the water distribution system, comprising 2763 individual service taps, in sizes ranging from 3/4" to 6".
Leaks developed in the street sections of services, requiring street excavation to effect repairs. The leaks were caused by aging pipe fit- tings, corporation cocks and leads.
Rodding of water services to remove incrustation from old service pipes and thereby improve water delivery was carried on extensively throughout the year. A new and improved flexible rodding device has been procured to aid in this work.
In a number of instances, defective cellar shut-offs have been re- placed with a new and improved type of hand wheel valve.
Meter Maintenance
A total of 250 active water meters, in sizes ranging from 5/8" to 11/2", were removed from water services for various reasons by the meter department. Of this number, 190 meters were dismantled, cleaned, re- paired, tested and re-installed. Eight obsolete meters were junked and replaced with new meters. Eighteen new meters were set, eleven as replacements and seven on new services. Twenty-four meters became frozen during the winter months and were repaired, frost-protected and reset.
Several new brick meter boxes were installed to replace defective wood boxes and where possible box meters were relocated to cellars. During the Fall, all remaining meters in meter boxes were insulated against frost.
A new leak detecting device, known as the "Meter Master" has been procured by the meter department. With this device, a charted record may be obtained of all water usage for a period of 24 hours on the premises where installed, and shows visible proof to the home owner of water usage.
As of January 1, 1946, there are in use in the water distribution system 3303 water meters, in sizes ranging from 5/8" to 8".

Fire Hydrants
One new fire hydrant was installed in 1945, on a 6" water main ex- tension on Lakeview (private) Road. This hydrant furnishes fire pro- tection for five dwelling houses and a number of poultry farm build- ings on Lakeview (private) Road.
Three fire hydrants were broken by motor vehicles during the year, two by "hit and run" drivers and one by a department truck snow plow. Small water loss was caused by any of the breaks.
The annual inspection of fire hydrants was made, and some hy- drants received necessary minor repairs. All fire hydrants used by the Fire Department in 1945 were found to be in good working condition.
Driven Well System
No new construction was accomplished in Hundred Acre well field in 1945. It had been planned to install a new well line, and some of the necessary material was procured, but due to shortages, strikes, etc., key items could not be obtained in time for 1945 construction. Due to above normal rainfall in 1945, the ground water has remained at a high level throughout the year, as shown by twice-daily test well readings. The well field for much of the year was covered with flood water.
In July, and again in September, all wells were cleaned, spudded and pumped clear. During the July cleaning operations, analyses of water from each well was made by the pumping station engineers for iron content. During the September cleaning operations, a chemist from the firm of Weston and Sampson, Consulting Engineers, made specific tests for iron, color and CO2 on each well as it was pumped.
Each well was also air-tested for possible leaks in September, and several wells found to have leakage were repaired. Four wells found to have broken gate valve stems were also repaired.
As of January 1, 1946 there are 104 driven 212" tubular wells in the collection system, of which 102 are in active use. One well on Line "B" and one well on Line "F" are out of service, and are to be pulled and re-driven in more suitable locations.
A program of cutting off from the collection system selected groups of wells found to contain excessive amounts of iron, or to be of high color, has been instituted, with analyses made at regular intervals to determine the result on both raw water and final effluent from the Deferrization Plant.
Filtration Plant
The filtration plant operated effciently and economically during the year. A total of 231,483,500 gallons of raw water direct from the
Water Department
181
driven wells, averaging 634,201 gallons per day, was aerated and filtered. Tables included in this report show the results obtained by aeration and filtration.
Sand Filter No. 1 was scraped three times and raked twice, and Sand Filter No. 2 was scraped twice and raked three times during the year, to break up and remove iron deposit films on sand filter surfaces. The ejector box was used five times during the year to wash and clean filter sand. Vertical feed pipes to the contact aerators were wire brushed and cleaned twice, and the aerator nozzles were cleaned and reamed as often as required.
A new set of concrete steps and a concrete walk were installed at the new access ramp in front of the filter plant, and the ramp itself has been sodded over, presenting an attractive appearance.
Standpipes
No major repair or maintenance work was necessary on either standpipe during the year.
PUMPING STATIONS
Hundred Acre Pumping Station
This pumping station operated daily during the year, averaging 12.10 hours of operation daily, and delivered 231,483,500 gallons of raw well water to the Iron Removal or filtration plant and filtered water to the distribution mains, averaging 634,201 gallons per day, at a cost of pumping figured on total pumping station expenses of $38.45 per million gallons pumped. The greatest amount pumped in any one day was on Monday, July 2, 1945 with a total pumpage of 894,700 gallons; in any one week, from August 17 to 23 inclusive, with a total pumpage of 5,546,700 gallons. The 75 H.P. high lift pump was in daily operation for a total of 4,414.25 hours during the year, and the 125 H.P. high lift pump in operation during monthly test runs only of 3 hours.
Vacuum Pump No. 1, which was of small capacity and badly worn from years of use was replaced with a new Nash Hy-Tor vacuum pump of greater capacity. Another improvement made at the pumping station was the installation of new electrode float controls in the vacuum tank, which also necessitated the re-wiring of one switch-board panel. This system causes the vacuum pumps to operate at a constant tank water- level, irrespective of the rise and fall of ground water in the well field, and is also supplied with a low-water safety cut-off. Either or both vacuum pumps may be operated as required.
Water Department
182
Low lift Pump No. 1 was dismantled, overhauled and new impeller shaft sleeves installed to increase its efficiency. The sand chamber in the vacuum tank was cleaned twice during the year.
Eight interruptions of electric power supply occurred during the year, caused by a power line break, short circuits in the power line caused by high winds, lightning, and failures at the electric power plant. The shortest of these interruptions of power supply was of one-half hour duration, the longest of three and three-quarter hours.
Mill Street Pumping Station
Mill Street Pumping Station was not actively operated during the year, but was kept in condition to be put in operation at short notice as an emergency or auxiliary source of water supply. During cold weather, one boiler was kept fired and the steam driven pumps were operated for testing purposes, but did not pump water into the distribution mains. The annual inspection of boiler and pumping equipment was made by the State Department of Public Safety and the insurance un- derwriters and approval certificates were issued by them.
Maintenance work on the grounds and buildings was accomplished, and equipment and materials were stored in the lime shed and boiler room to relieve congestion at the municipal garage.
