The above amounts for the years 1895, 1896 and 1897 include both Mystic supply and
Cochituate accounts. The contracts to supply Chelsea, Somerville and Everett with
Mystic water were abrogated by the Metropolitan Water Act of January 1, 1898.
* This amount includes certain city department accounts, abated by order of the Mayor.
t These amounts include abatements of city department accounts, under order of the
City Council, approved by the Mayor on March 5, 1900, said order abolishing all charges
for water used by city departments.
X The statement of water rates for the year 1911 represents annual accounts only, as
the quarterly meter accounts can only be estimated at this time.

During the months of December, January and Feb-
ruary a special force of hydrant inspectors is drafted
from the various gangs of the division to maintain the
hydrants in the central district in a condition for imme-
diate use. Transfers of men from one class of work to
another are made as required, but in the main the dis-
tribution of employees is as above outlined.
There are now 411 men in the Distribution Division.
One year ago the total number was 435.
The average number of men at work daily during the
year was 388. The average number of men absent
daily during the year was 34. The lowest number of
men in the force during the year was 409. The highest
number was 436.
The number of men 10 years or longer in service is
353; 15 years or longer, 155; 20 years or longer, 115;
25 years or longer, 39; 30 years or longer, 16. The
maximum length of service, 44 years.
One hundred and fifty-eight men entered the depart-
ment at the age of 40 years and older; 101 at the age
of 45 years and older; 54 at the age of 50 years and
older; 21 at the age of 55 years and older; and 11 at the
age of 60 years and older.
Main Pipe.
During the year 68,128 linear feet of mains were laid,
relaid and relocated, and 33,246 linear feet were aban-
doned. Gate valves, air valves and blow-offs were
established and abandoned, as stated in Table No. I.
appended to the text. The total mileage of mains now
owned and operated by the department is 767.35 miles,
consisting almost entirely of cast-iron pipe, there being
but 4,985 feet of 30-inch, and 6,180 feet of 20-inch
wrought-iron cement-lined pipe in the system.
Watee Department. 35
Of the total amount laid, 188 feet of 2-inch, 226 feet
of 4-inch, 528 feet of 6-inch, 14,116 feet of 8-inch, 4,758
feet of 10-inch, 7,871 feet of 12-inch, and 844 feet of
16-inch, were laid to supply new buildings in streets
where water mains had not been laid, and for high
service to buildings in the business section.
In replacing old and inadequate mains there were
laid 697 feet of 6-inch, 2,002 feet of 8-inch, 5,369 feet of
10-inch, 14,980 feet of 12-inch, 663 feet of 16-inch, and
985 feet of 36-inch.
On account of construction work of different kinds it
was necessary to relocate the following lengths of main
pipe : Seven feet of 4-inch, 200 feet of 6-inch, 632 feet of
8-inch, 2,063 feet of 10-inch, 2,596 feet of 12-inch, 251
feet of 16-inch, 193 feet of 24-inch, and 48 feet of 30-inch.
To improve the supply in East Boston, 171 feet of
16-inch, 1,153 feet of 24-inch, 3,330 feet of 30-inch, and
13 feet of 36-inch were laid in Chelsea street connecting
with the large main laid in the tunnel recently built by
the Metropolitan Water and Sewer Board from Chelsea
to East Boston.
To improve the high service supply in Roxbury, 1,124
feet of 16-inch main was laid in Dudley street, from
Warren street to Mt. Pleasant avenue, connecting with
the dead ends of the high service between those two
points and greatly improving the circulation.
For sometime past the water supply at Deer Island
has been inadequate for the increased demands on the
island. This condition being due in a great measure to
the loss of head caused by the long line of pipe from
East Boston through Winthrop and Point Shirley to
the island. During the year this line which was 8 inches
in diameter was replaced by a 12-inch line from a point
in Shirley street opposite the Winthrop Yacht Club to
Shirely gut — about 4,843 feeit in all.
The 16-inch line laid in Granite street. South Boston,
the previous year was extended through Granite and
Second streets, to Dorchester avenue, thus completing
a very efficient connecting line between the 20-inch
Dover street. South Boston supply and the 30-inch
line entering South Boston by way of Congress street
pipe tunnel.
About 1,000 feet of 36-inch pipe was laid in Tremont
street, between Rutland and Canton streets, repla(3ing
that amount of old 30-inch pipe which was in bad con-
dition, it having been in the ground since 1847.
36 City Document No. 40.
The old and small sized lines in Davis, Troy, Union
Park, Chambers, Brighton, Sumner, Webster and Heath
streets, Howard avenue, Bremen, Burroughs, Cherry,
Decatur, Moon, Sun Court, Fay and Wesley streets
were all replaced by mains of larger diameter.
Considerable work was done in Hyde Park avenue,
raising, moving and laying new mains, to conform to
the new lines and grades created by the work of
widening the street.
In the Dorchester district the elimination of grade
crossings at Freeport street, Harrison square, Adams
street, Dorchester avenue and Taylor street, caused
much work upon the part of the Water Department in
lowering and otherwise relocating its mains to suit the
new condition.
One hundred seventy feet of 8-inch, 1,406 feet of 6-inch
and 962 feet of 2-inch mains laid by the Boston Water
Department in Squantum were turned over to the city
of Quincy upon terms arranged and agreed upon by the
cities of Boston and Quincy.
The easterly 30-inch main in Tremont street, between
Holhs and La Grange streets, was stripped and examined
and all unyielding material, such as concrete, brick piers
and timbers, removed from its bed. It was raised where
necessary and earth tamped solidly under it, giving it
a natural bed of uniform resistance. This work was
made imperative by the condition disclosed by the
break in this main January 3, 1910, in Tremont street,
opposite Seaver place.
Upon February 4, 1910, the gates were opened and
the water allowed to pass from the city proper to South
Boston, by way of ,the new 30-24-inch line laid through
Congress street and the pipe tunnel under Fort Point
channel at Congress Street Bridge. This is a very
important addition to the South Boston supply.
One hundred and twenty-two petitions for main pipe
to be laid in various streets were investigated and the
required lengths measured; of these, 96 petitions were
granted and the required pipe laid.
Of the leaks during the year the most serious was
that which occurred June 24, 1910, in Broad street, at
Milk street. The 10-inch Broad street main broke upon
a rigid bearing left in the ground during some previous
operations. The spot was greatly congested with con-
duits over the main, old sheathing and timbers under
it, the conditions being favorable for just such a break
as occurred.
Water Department.

In the latter part of May the 12-inch main passing
under water from Moon to Long Island pulled apart
just outside of the sea wall at Moon Island. From the
fact that ^'tidework'' was necessary, it was a slow and
tedious matter to make repairs; the islands being sup-
plied through the old 6-inch line while the work v/as in
progress.
The usual work of gate inspection was carried on
throughout the season with good results. Many gates
were located that were not on the plans and others that
were on the plans were located in the streets. All gates
inspected were thoroughly tested and history cards
made out.
For other repairs and maintenance items see Table
No. III. in the appendix.
Hydrants.
During the year 257 public hydrants were established,
and 175t public and 5 private hydrants were abandoned,
making a total number of 8,106 public and 302 private
and suburban hydrants connected with the system
January 31, 1911. This work comprised not only the
establishment of additional new hydrants, but also
the changing of the style and location of old hydrants.
Following is a statement of the cost of establishing
and abandoning hydrants during the year:

Note. — The changes include 11 hydrants abandoned which were not replaced.
Also 50 additional hydrants were established and 82 changes were made in conjunction
with contract work, and the cost of labor is so much involved with the main pipe work
that it cannot be separated and is not included in the above figures.
The usual attention was given the hydrants during
the year. New ones were set where needed and old
ones were changed in style and location. They were
painted and repaired and during cold weather inspected
and tested so that there might be no delay on account
of frost in the event of a fire. The Fire Department was
furnished with 3,312 sacks of salt to place upon the
hydrant covers during the season of snow and ice.
38 City Document No. 40.
Decayed wooden boxes were replaced by concrete
boxes. On account of greater limitations in the matter
of outsiders using hydrants there were fewer cases of
defective hydrants from that cause. Tables IV., V.
and VI. in the appendix will show the number and
style of hydrants established and abandoned, their
locations by districts, and the total number in service;
also the repairs and items of general maintenance per-
formed during the year with costs, causes, etc.
Service Pipes.
Fourteen hundred and seventy-two service pipes of
diameter varying from f of an inch to 12 inches were
laid during the year, and 367 were abandoned. The
net increase for the year was 1,105. The total number
of service pipes in the system is 97,156. In addition,
there were connected with new houses 51 f-inch
pipes that were formerly laid to vacant lots. These
have been already counted as services laid and as
there was nothing done except to extend from the side-
walk cock to the property line they are treated apart
from the regular work of " laying service pipes. The
term '^ service pipe" includes not only those pipes sup-
plying water to premises for strictly domestic purposes,
but also fire, motor and elevator pipes. Tables VII.,
VIII., IX., X. and XL, appended, give details as to
number, size, length in feet, etc., also costs of laying and
changing service pipes. All |-inch pipes are made of
lead. Those ranging from f-inch to 2-inch, inclusive,
are of lead and lead-lined iron. Pipes of 3 inches and
upward are of cast iron.
The usual work of maintaining the services was
continued throughout the year, involving a considerable
part of the force, with consequent large total cost. The
increasing number of premises being metered is a cause
of much additional shutting off and letting on for non-
paymient. Under the yearly rates this matter came up
but once a year, but under meter rates the bills are
rendered quarterly, and the work of compelling pay-
ment of bills necessarily occurs four times a year.
A strong effort should be made to equip every service
pipe with a shut-off if one is not already installed, and
to replace all old ^'church" cocks with the present type
of cock. The absence of easily accessible shut-offs in
the streets causes much extra expense and delay. Table
Water Department. 39
XII. in the appendix will show the variety, extent and
cost of the work necessary to the maintenance of the
service pipe system during the year.
Meters.
Although the installation and maintenance of meters
are attended to by the Income Division, an arrange-
ment exists by which the Distribution Division installs
all outside meters and maintains all meter boxes.
During the year 453 outside and 8 inside meters were
installed at a total cost, exclusive of the meter itself, of
19,977.26. Tables XIII. and XIV. in the appendix
will show the details of this work and also the repairs,
causes and costs.
Water Posts.
During the year three water posts for street sprink-
ling carts were estabUshed and seven abandoned, leav-
ing a total number of 512 connected with the system
January 31, 1911. The total cost of the work was
$102.57. Formerly these posts were entirely in our
charge, but since 1906 we have merely executed orders
to do work as issued by the Street Cleaning and Water-
ing Division of the Street Department. Table XV.
in the appendix gives a statement of repairs performed
by this department on water posts during the year,
the number of jobs, the causes and the cost.
Fountains.
There were estabhshed during the year just past one
trough for horses; four fountains of the ''bubble"
type replacing old style fountains with drinking cups ; and
three fountains of the ''bubble" type with cold water
attachments, replacing cold water fountains with drinking
cups. Thirty-one taps were estabUshed on street water-
ing posts to provide for teamsters to serve in pails to their
horses. These have been designated as Style I. They
were installed at the suggestion of the Master Team-
sters' Association and the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. These organizations claimed
that much disease, especially "glanders," was spread
through the medium of the common drinking trough
and the serving of water by pails was considered a more
sanitary method. Several of the large circular bowls
40
City Document No. 40.
located in squares and at street intersections have
been equipped with a device which is supposed to remedy
this matter to a large extent. The water flows into
the bowl upon a horizontal plane at the same level as
the surface of the water. This produces a rapid move-
m.ent in the top water towards the waste outlet which is
so situated in relation to the inlet as to involve a com-
plete revolution of the flowing top water before it
reaches the oiltlet.
Upon October 1 the law passed by the Legislature
abolishing the public drinking cup went into effect. This
will necessitate the abolition of about all the present
types of fountains and the substitution therefor of
the ^'bubble" type.
There were abandoned during the year one fountain
for man and beast and three fountains for man only.
The cost of establishing and abandoning fountains
during the year was *as follows :

Shop Work.
The work done by the various shops is shown by the
series of tables in the appendix.
In the power plant there was used during the year
529,800 pounds of coal as against 471,200 pounds in
1909-10; 497,000 pounds in 1908-09, and 671,200 pounds
in 1907-08. The percentage of ash and clinker was
9.69 as against 9.61 in 1909-10; 10.16 in 1908-09, and
13.5 in 1907-08. Coal on hand February 1, 1911,
18,900 pounds. About twenty-five gallons each of engine
Water Department. 41
and cylinder oil were used during the year. The increased
amount of coal used this year over last year was due
to the extension of the steam-heating apparatus. The
concrete drying and storage shed was equipped with
steam heat. On account of the distance of the shed
from the boiler and the large amount of radiation,
considerable steam was necessary with a correspondingly
greater amount of coal used.
Property and Plant.
Albany Street Yard. — The property at this yard is
in generally good condition. Repairs have been made
as necessary and conveniences added as required. More
pavement should be laid in the driveways. The emer-
gency automobile service installed last year has worked
to good advantage. The old-fashioned toilet on the
second floor of the main building has been replaced by
one with modern plumbing, — a much needed improve-
ment. Three old and disabled horses were humanely
killed, and one horse, unsuitable for our use, sold in
trade. Five new horses were purchased. We now own
59, including an unbroken colt. They are all in good
condition. The department also owns 4 automobiles,
37 wagons of all kinds, 13 carriages, 23 sleighs and
pungs, 3 road rollers and 13 portable tool houses.
During the year such of these wagons and carriages
that required repairs were overhauled and put in good
condition.. Two old wagons that were beyond economical
repairs were sold in trade, and three new ones purchased.
Two old carriages were sold by auction. The harnesses
were repaired and kept in good condition. A gasolene
power pump was purchased during the year; the pulso-
meter was overhauled and put in good condition, and
the siphons equipped with wheel valves to more easily
control the hydrant stream. We are thus better equipped
to meet any emergency that may require the removal
of water from cellars, trenches or pipes than at any
time in the past.
The following old material was sold during the year:
1,004,653 pounds cast-iron junk.
14,294 pounds composition and brass junk.
5,202 pounds composition turnings.
141 pounds old rubber boots.
246 pounds old automobile tire cases.
198 pounds old rubber valve packings.
20 pounds old rubber diaphragms.
5 pounds old automobile inner tubes.
42 City Document No. 40.
380 pounds lead dross.
3 lots wrought-iron junk.
1 pound old harness.
2 old buggies.
3 sets of old harness.
1 old jigger.
1 old express wagon.
16 old oil barrels.
1 old lead furnace.
1 old lead pot.
1 old portable steam boiler.
1 old typewriting machine.
1 pair old tool house wheels.
3 old flat top desks.
1 old screen.
1 old table (large) .
1 old table (small).
1 old typewriting chair.
1 old cabinet.
3 crops of hay at various reservoirs.
District Yards. — The yards and buildings in the
Charlestown, East Boston and Dorchester districts
are all in good condition, and well adapted for the uses
of the department. The West Roxbury yard is lacking
suitable buildings and is not centrally located. The
Brighton yard is entirely unsuitable and some steps
should be taken at once towards providing something
like proper quarters in this rapidly growing district.
Reservoirs. — The reservoirs and surrounding prop-
erties at Fisher Hill, Boylston street, Parker Hill and
East Boston are all in good condition. Fisher Hill
Reservoir might without detriment be taken by the
state. Brookline Reservoir could be given over to the
town of Brookline, which has already paid for it.
Parker Hill is of no use to the department and should be
disposed of.
Standpipes. — The Orient Heights and Mt. Bellevue
standpipes are in fairly good condition. Mt. Bellevue
is inadequate for the demands made on it and should
be either enlarged or replaced by a more capacious
structure.
Data in tabular form will be found in the appendix.
Respectfully submitted,
William J. Welch,
Superintendent.

* Of this amount $102.35 was expended in setting one meter in Boston Common, building,
concrete vault, etc.
t This meter was set in conjunction with the laying of a new service and practically all
the expense of excavating, etc., was borne by said service, hence the small cost.
J In these four cases we dug, but had to abandon the idea of setting a meter because of
obstructions encountered underground. They are not counted as meters set.

REPORT OF THE ACTING CITY ENGINEER.
The demands upon the Engineering Department, in
connection with the extension and maintenance of the
waterworks system, are yearly increasing, owing in
part to the fact that contract labor is fast supplanting
day labor. During the past year, the laying and relay-
ing of mains was done largely by contract, under the
supervision of the engineering force, the city supplying
all required materials. The results of this policy have
proven satisfactory, both from the standpoints of econ-
omy and workmanship. The following is a summary
of the more important work done during the year:
1. A 30-inch and 24-inch main was laid in Chelsea
street. East Boston, from Addison street to Brooks
street, the 30-inch main reducing to 24-inch at Prescott.
street; this line forms a second connection between
the metropolitan supply mains in Chelsea and the
distribution system in East Boston, notably improving
and safeguarding the fire and domestic supply of the
island.
2. A 16-inch high service main was laid in Dudley
street, from Warren street to Mt. Pleasant avenue, to
improve the distribution system.
3. A 16-inch low service main was laid in Granite
treet and West Second street, from Mt. Wasnhigton
venue to Dorchester avenue; when this work was com-
pleted the 20-inch main crossing at Binford street,
under fifty-seven tracks in the freight yard of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, which
had long been difficult to maintain owing to frequent
leaks, was abandoned.
4. A mile of 12-inch pipe was laid in Shirley street,
Winthrop, northerly from Shirley gut, to replace the
8-inch supply main to Deer Island, laid in 1870; the
result of this work was an increased pressure at the
island which is now much better maintained than
formerly.
5. The Deer Island reservoir, put in service during
the past year, will safeguard the water supply on the
island in the event of failure of the long feed main
70 City Document No. 40.
which passes through Winthrop under Shirley gut;
it will afford as well a much needed improvement in
fire protection. The reservoir was built by prison
labor, under the supervision of the Engineering Depart-
ment. It is located on the top of a hill and is constructed
almost entirely in excavation; it is rectangular in shape,
43 feet wide and 138 feet long at the bottom with side
slopes of 2 to 1 on the inside and 2| to 1 on the outside;
its top is at grade 114, high water mark at grade 109;
the bottom and entire sides were lined with 6 inches of
concrete and, in addition, stone paving laid upon 3
feet of ballast was placed from a berm formed at grade
103 to the top; a suitable gate chamber was constructed
of concrete; a 16-inch pipe at grade 110 was provided
as an overflow in the event of failure of the regulating
apparatus in the gate chamber; the capacity of the
reservoir is 2,500,000 gallons.
6. The Deacon meter system was operated for two
months during the summer season with a small force;
a total expenditure of $540 resulted in the detection of
500,000 gallons of water going to waste.
On June 30 last, Mr. William Jackson died after
holding the ofhce of City Engineer continuously since
April 21, 1885. He was a practical man of spotless
reputation, with high scholarly attainments; his works,
which abound in Boston, are his best monument.

* This number does not represent that actual number of services in use. Previous to
1887 no deduction was made of the number of services abandoned. The number of serv-
ices in use, connected to the system, is much less than the number published and there is
no data available to determine the number correctly.
t No revenue was derived from the meters set on existing services during the year 1910,
all of the existing services metered during 1910 being assessed on the annual rate. The
number of meters from which this revenue was derived was 13,000.
