Report of Water Commissioners
The earnings of the town water department bear a de- cidedly inverse relationship to the seasonal rainfall. Altho sufficient rain fell this year to keep the supply of surface water more nearly normal than last year, still there was not enough rain to compensate the wells for the previous season's shortage. This is reflected in the receipts for water sold, which amounted to $3,030.15, as compared with $1,866.52 for 1929, altho the number of new connections fell from fifty three made in 1929 to forty five during 1930. As the number of possible users from existing mains is rapidly diminishing (only forty three remaining), we presume the income from house connections will be much smaller during 1931. We closed the year 1930 with a total of two hundred thirteen service connections.
