The expenditures were operation, $14,360.32; interest on bonds, $1,580; sinking fund, $750; construction, $2,299.64; total balance, $3,311.70. The net cost of works to date is $182,247.23; bonded debt at date of report, $35,500; value of sinking fund at date, $7,421.39. The water works were constructed in 1885. The source of supply is a well south of the village, near Nemosket River. The mode of supply is pumping. Estimated total population at date is: Town, 8,330; District, 5,400. Estimated population on lines of pipe, 5,200; estimated population supplied, 5,000. Total consumption for the year 116,829,000, of which passed through meters 71,936,505. The percentage of consumption metered, 61.57. Average, daily consumption, 320,079, being gallons per day to each inhabitant, 61.55; gallons per day to each consumer, 64.01; gallons per day to each tap, 290. The water commissioners are Alvin C. Howes, John J. Pearson and Edmund S. Russell. Alvin C. Howes is superintendent. The commissioner’s report shows that the total length of pipe in service is 20.88 miles. Seven hydrants were set during the year, making 148 in service; 26 service connections were made, making 1,167. The number of services taking water is 1,071. There are 1,109 meters in use, of which 25 were set during the year. Superintendent Howes, in the course of his report, states that work on the filter remaining unfinished last year has been completed and the generally expressed appreciation of the citizens for the quality of the water now furnished is the best evidence of its effectiveness that can be given. At the pumping station the direct intake well pump suction valves have been fitted so that they can be operated from the pump room floor. On advice of an expert a steam driven Westinghouse air pump has been installed for the purpose of relieving, to some extent, the water hammer inevitable under certain conditions. He further says: “In conclusion, in order to secure better fire protection, efficiency and economy in operation and maintenance, I renew my recommendation of a year ago that a stand pipe or tank not to hold less than five hundred thousand gallons be erected on the lot owned by the Department on Barden Hill.
