Report of Water Commissioners
The year 1928 has been another prosperous one for the water department.
We have installed fifteen new services during the year, making a total of one hundred sixteen house con- nections, serving 146 families, 2 gas stations, 3 churches, and the Grange Hall.
The gross receipts of the department show that we are receiving nearly 4.5% back on our investment.
All bills have been paid from the earnings of the department as no appropriation was asked for at our last annual town meeting.
Our expenses for the year included the moving of one hydrant at St. Cecelia's Church eliminating a very dangerous corner, and the repairing of three serious breaks in the main.
After paying all bills, there remains $1,098.29 in the treasury, and the water commissioners unanimously voted to return $1,000.00 of this to the town toward pay- ment of the interest on the water bonds.
