Report of Water Commissioners


This past August our 16" feeder main from Miller Street, Ludlow, to the intersection of Main and Maple Streets was completed by the Martelli Construction Company. The supply and volume of water

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS (Continued)


has met expectations as far as North Wilbraham is concerned. We feel that this has been the first step towards improving overall volume and pressure throughout the Town.


During the summer and early fall pressure tests were made at Stony Hill Road and in the center of Wilbraham by our Engineer from Tighe & Bond. Considering the fact we had more rainfall this year than last, readings were below normal at peak consumption at these points. Therefore, we will recommend, upon the advice of our Engineer Mr. McDonnell, the consideration of installing a 16" main to tie in at Maple and Main Streets to the intersection of Main and Springfield Streets. Too, in order to improve our system in the Stony Hill Road area we are further advised to consider completing the loop from Tinkham Road to Main Street. It is felt that by mak- ing these improvements we will bring our existing system up to maximum efficiency and thereby benefiting the greatest number of users.


As of October 1954 the Town of Wilbraham had 876 subscribers and this number is rapidly increasing with many new developments now underway.


During the year eighty new services were installed and eight old services renewed. A total of 1084 feet of six-inch main was laid on Faculty Street and 551 feet on Magnolia Street to replace old and inadequate pipelines. Water mains laid by private developers dur- ing 1954 were: - 262 feet on Edgewood Road; 1400 feet on Brook- lawn Road and Joan Street; 930 feet on Decorie Drive.


In order to illustrate the comparative growth over the past ten years of the Water Department we list the following:

When water rates were increased two years ago it was our thought that the increased revenue would help to offset additional costs toward improving our present system. Our figures indicate that we are achieving our goal and look forward to another year of progress in our Town.
