Report of Water Commissioners
A word of general interest might well precede the im- portant financial statement of the Town Water Works. The largest undertaking of the year was the extension of the water main along Springfield Street and Stony Hill Road. With the advantage of lower cost of pipe, it was possible to lay considerably more main with the money ap- propriated than was originally hoped and planned when the article was drawn and petition signed last year. A total of 5626 feet of 6" pipe was installed at a total cost $15.79 less than the appropriation, providing service for 13 families and the Stony Hill Country Club.
Because of unusually dry weather, the force was kept busy with installations of new services, 53 being made during 1929. This factor was most important in making the year so prosperous for the department, for although the gross profit in water sales figured 94.9%, the actual amount of gross profit from that source was only $887.21 The ratio of profit will undoubtedly increase, as we are now drawing about 12,000 gallons daily more than our minimum, having averaged 50,500 gallons a day during December. We now supply 169 families in Wilbraham, 23 families in Ludlow, 5 stores, 3 churches, 6 gasoline stations, 2 halls, a private school, a country club, a garage, a hotel. a railroad station, and a mill.
Since in the past, no appropriation has been made for the water works, the current bills have been paid out of current receipts. After payment of all our bills, a balance of $1,647.02 remains in the treasury, of which $1,600.00 will be used in the reduction of the funded debt.
38
It is the opinion of the Commissioners that the water system has weathered the vicissitudes of its experimental childhood, and is firmly established on a permanent work- ing basis. That Wilbraham was able to supply her citizens with plenty of water while certain towns were bemoaning the drought, should be a matter of some civic pride.
