Report of Superintendent of Water Department
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1922
To the Committee on Water Works:
Gentlemen :- The thirty-first annual report of this department is herewith submitted :
Source of supply during the year : Round Pond, Jan. 1 to June 3; Reservoir, June 3 to Aug. 17; Round Pond, Aug. 17 to Dec. 31. The water has been good from both Pond and Reservoir this year, as per reports from the State Chemist. Field surveys have been made, both by State and Federal Inspectors, as all water taken by trains must be as pure as possible.
The shores of the Reservoir have been cleaned and bushes cut back as far as is owned by the City. This not only helps make the water better, but adds greatly to the appearance.
We have set a Coffin hydrant at the end of Broad Street, so as to give better fire protection as well as better water, this being a dead end.
The heavy rain in mid-summer caused two very bad joint leaks. One at Axe Handle Brook and the other at Willow Brook on Portland Street; the former being twelve feet below surface and the latter eight feet.
Construction is as follows :
Pearl Street Extension, 1-in. Galv. W. I.
pipe, 142 feet
Grove Street Extension, Gonic, 1-in. Galv.
W. I. pipe, 714 feet

Report of Chief Engineer of Fire Department
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
In rendering my report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1922, I would state that we have been very fortunate this year in not having many serious fires, but we may not always be as fort- unate, therefore it stands us in hand to be prepared for whatever emergency may arise by having up-to- date equipment.
There have been seventeen bell alarms, eighty-eight still alarms, mostly chimney fires, eight brush and forest fires in the city proper; five bell alarms, nine still alarms at East Rochester; one bell alarm and twelve still alarms at Gonic; making a total of one hundred forty alarms for the year.
The amount of property involved is as follows : Value of buildings, $63,360 00
Insurance on same,
47,750 00
Losses paid, 9,936 63
Value of contents,
55,815 00
Insurance on same,

Losses paid,
12,856 67
The amount of property involved in fires outside the hydrant service is as follows :

Value of contents,

The motor truck has responded to one hundred twenty-nine alarms this year. Twelve of these fires have been where some parts of the building were afire and were put out by the use of chemicals, thus saving water damages.
There has been some improvements made in the Fire Department this year. There has been purchased two light combination chemical and hose motor trucks for East Rochester and Gonic, and five hundred feet of new hose and two hind wheels for the hook and ladder truck.
