Report of Superintendent Water Department For the Year Ending Dec. 31, 1910
To the Committee on Water Works:
GENTLEMEN :- From Jan. 6, 1910, when I assumed the duties of this office, until Dec. 31, 1910, the source of water supply of our city has been as follows :
Jan. 6, 1910 to July 24, 1910, reservoir ; July 24, 1910 to Nov. 24, 1910, Round pond ; Nov. 24, 1910 to Dec. 31, 1910, reservoir.
From July 24 to Nov. 24, the water level in Round Pond dropped forty-six (46) inches ; approximately .38 per day.
During the month of June several complaints were received concerning the taste of city water. I at once flushed the entire system and in a few days the cause for complaint entirely disappeared. Evidently this con- dition was due to the large amount of sediment conveyed to the Reservoir during the heavy rain fall of this month. No other complaints have been received and the water supplied during the year has given general satisfaction.
While the past year has been one of light rain-fall, and an unusually large amount of water has been used in road construction, at no time has the hydrant pressure been affected.

ANNUAL REPORT
Samples of city water have been submitted to the State Board of Hygiene for analysis and reports re- ceived from that body have shown no evidence of contamination.
During the year a large amount of work has been done clearing the shores of Round Pond, and this work should be continued each year until the entire shore is thoroughly cleaned.
On March 27th, 250 feet of the bridge connecting shore with gate house at Round Pond was carried out by the ice. A float has been constructed and row boat purchased which will do away with constant repairs on bridge and expense of keeping it free from ice during the winter months.
The bed of canal from Berry Brook Dam to Rese- voir has been cleaned ; the bushes have been cut on line of canal, on pipe line from Round Pond to Reservoir, and on pipe line below Reservoir Dam.
