Office  of  the  Water  Commissioner, 

City  Hall,  Boston,  April  1,  1902. 

Hon.    Patrick  A.  Collins, 

Mayor  of  Boston  : 

Dear  Sir,  —  Section  twenty-four  of  chapter  three  of  the 
Revised  Ordinances  requires  that  every  officer  in  charge  of  a 
department  shall  within  thirty  days  after  the  close  of  the 
financial  year  transmit  to  the  Mayor  a  report  containing  a 
statement  of  the  acts  and  doings  and  receipts  and  expendi- 
tures of  the  department  for  such  financial  year.  I  did  not 
assume  the  duties  of  Water  Commissioner  until  after  the 
expiration  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  January  31,  1902,  having 
been  appointed  on  March  IT,  1902,  to  fill  the  vacancy 
caused  by  the  death  of  Commissioner  Augustus  P.  Martin.  I 
therefore  submit  herewith,  under  head  of  "  Seventh  Annual 
Report  of  the  Water  Commissioner, "  a  statement  showing 
the  financial  condition  of  the  Water  Department  at  the  end 
of  said  fiscal  year,  together  with  detailed  reports  of  the  City

Respectfully, 

Eugene  S.  Sullivan, 

Water   Commissioner.

The  abatements  allowed  on  account  of  1901  assessments,  amounting  to  $23,113.73 
were  due  to  changes  in  occupancy  of  premises,  changes  in  ownership,  vacancies, 
errors  in  valuations  and  assessments,  inaccuracy  of  meters  as  proved  by  tests,  under- 
ground leaks  for  which  the  owner  could  not  be  held  entirely  responsible,  and  for 
other  reasons,  which,  in  the  judgment  of  the  General  Superintendent,  entitled  the 
water-taker  to  consideration. 

The  abatements  on  account  of  1896, 1898, 1899,  and  1900,  were  due  to  bills  uncol- 
lectible,  changes  of  ownership,  failures,  shut-off  for  non-payment,  cleaning  up  old 
accounts.

90  City  Document  No.  48. 

Main  pipes,  in  danger  of  collapse  through  the  operations  of 
various  contractors  and  corporations,  were  watched  night  and 
day  with  an  attendant  expense  to  the  department  of  {$1,300. 

The  pipes  in  the  harbor  were  watched  and  cared  for,  and  where 
necessary  protected  from  the  incursions  of  tide-water. 

Test  holes  were  dug  along  the  line  of  the  40-inch  main  in 
Brookline  avenue,  also  in  Causeway  street,  to  enable  the  Engi- 
neering Department  to  determine  the  condition  of  the  pipes. 

The  cost  of  making  various  repairs  in  main  pipes  as  scheduled 
in  the  foregoing  statement  varied  in  amount  from  $1.11  to 
$1,503.91.  The  most  costly  breaks  were  those  in  Warren  street 
Brookline  ($1,503.91),  Dewey  square  ($917.99)  and  Dean  road, 
Brookline  ($692.13). 

The  work  of  replacing  an  8 -inch  sleeve  on  the  8 -inch  main  in 
Shirley  gut  was  a  particularly  difficult  and  expensive  job,  owing 
to  the  extraordinarv  conditions  under  which  it  was  done.  The 
total  cost  of  the  job  was  $1,744.98. 

Inspectors  were  constantly  employed  looking  after  the  interests 
of  the  Water  Department  where  corporations  and  contractors 
were  at  work.  Conduits  and  other  underground  fixtures  are 
almost  continually  being  laid  in  the  already  overcrowded  streets 
of  the  city,  and  it  is  always  a  great  temptation  to  those  in  charge 
of  this  work  to  either  lay  their  conduit  over  our  main  or  else  so 
near  to  it  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  reach  it  to  niake  repairs 
when  necessary.  This  is  a  serious  matter,  and  nothing  short  of 
eternal  vigilance  on  our  part  serves  to  protect  us. 

An  item  of  ever  increasing  proportions  is  that  of  ' '  Service 
Pipes  moved  from  way  of  various  corporations,"  chief  of  which 
is  the  Sewer  Division  of  the  Street  Department,  which  is  establish- 
ing a  new  system  of  high  level  surface  drainage  in  several  sec- 
tions of  the  city.  The  masonry  work  of  this  drainage  system 
seems  to  come  in  contact  with  our  service  pipes  quite  frequently, 
and  it  is  necessary  to  either  raise  or  lower  them  so  as  to  avoid  pass- 
ing through  the  sewer.  It  is  more  often  the  case  that  they  are 
raised  and  in  some  cases  this  brings  the  pipes  so  near  to  the  sur- 
face of  the  street  that  it  is  necessary  to  insulate  them  as  a  pro- 
tection against  frost.  All  this  means  additional  expense  and  the 
consumption  of  time,  that  could  be  used  to  advantage  otherwise. 

The  same  conditions  as  mentioned  in  the  preceding  paragraph 
apply  to  our  main  pipes  and  hydrants  as  well.

REPORT  OF  THE  ENGINEER. 


ENGHNEERIN&  DEPARTMENT, 

50  City  Hall,  February  1,  1902. 

Gen.  a.  p.  Martin, 

Water  Commissioner : 

Sm,  —  I  herewith  submit  the  following  report  for  the  past 
year  of  the  work  done  and  the  records  kept : 

During  the  year  18.9  miles  of  main  pipe  have  been  laid 
and  12.7  miles  abandoned,  making  a  total  length  in  the 
system  of  719.6  miles.  The  following  is  some  of  the  most 
important  work  done : 

The  30-inch  H.  S.  main  in  Washington  street,  Dorchester, 
was  extended  from  Talbot  avenue  to  Walton  street,  a  distance 
of  792  feet. 

A  30-inch  L.  S.  main  and  a  16-inch  H.  S.  main  were  laid 
in  Bowdoin  street,  from  Beacon  street  to  Ashburton  place, 
after  the  grade  of  Bowdoin  street  had  been  lowered,  on 
account  of  the  construction  of  the  State  House  park. 

The  24-inch  H.  S.  main  in  Columbia  road  was  connected 
between  Ceylon  and  Quincy  streets,  greatly  reenforcing  the 
water  supply  in  the  H.  S.  districts  of  the  northerly  portion  of 
Dorchester  and  of  South  Boston. 

Two  20-inch  L.  S.  pipes  were  laid  in  Southampton  street 
over  the  N.  Y.,  N.  H.  &  H.  R.R.,  to  be  connected  at  a  later 
date  with  the  30-inch  main,  when  it  is  raised  in  the  new 
street. 

Sixteen-inch  mains  were  laid  in  Causeway,  Lowell,  Willard, 
Spring  and  Allen  streets,  from  Prince  street  to  Charles  street, 
and  in  Staniford  street,  from  Causeway  street  to  Cambridge 
street,  a  total  distance  of  5,110  feet,  connections  being  made 
with  the  30-inch  L.  S.  main,  in  Causeway  street  at  Haveihill 
street  and  at  Cambridge  street ;  the  pipes  relaid  were  old, 
and  in  addition  to  being  too  small  for  present  needs,  were,  in 
many  cases,  dangerously  weak. 

A  16-inch  H.  S.  main  was  laid  in  Blue  Hill  avenue,  Rox- 
bury,  replacing  an  8-inch  main  from  Maywood  street  to 
Holborn  street,  a  distance  of  839  feet. 

A  16-inch  L.  S.  main  was  laid  in  Mason  street,  Charles- 


Water  Department.  95 

town,   from  Front  street  to  Bow  street,  replacing  a  4-inch 
main. 

A  16-inch  L.  S.  main,  replacing  a  6-inch  main,  was  laid  in 
Miller  street,  Charlestown,  from  Rutherford  avenue  to  Main 
street,  a  distance  of  675  feet. 

A  16-inch  main  was  laid  in  Columbia  road.  South  Boston, 
between  G  street  and  Q  street,  a  distance  of  2,288  feet. 

The  16-inch  main  in  Blue  Hill  avenue,  Dorchester,  was 
extended  from  Walk  Hill  street  to  Collins  street,  a  distance 
of  1,183  feet. 

A  large  part  of  the  work  done  during  the  year  has  been 
the  replacing  of  old  mains  with  sizes  that  are  adequate  for 
present  and  estimated  future  needs ;  this  policy  has  been 
consistently  carried  on  for  several  years  past,  and  the  result 
has  been  a  great  improvement  in  the  fire  protection  of  the 
city. 

The  only  supply  of  South  Boston,  east  of  Fort  Point  chan- 
nel and  north  of  West  First  street,  is  from  the  low  service, 
through  a  single  30-inch  main  in  D  street;  this  main  should 
be  extended  across  Fort  Point  channel  at  Congress  street  or 
Northern  avenue  to  afford  a  second  main  supply  pipe  in  case 
of  emergency. 

The  high  service  should  also  be  carried  from  the  city 
proper  into  this  territory,  to  supply  adequate  fire  pipe  and 
sprinkler  service.  The  main  for  this  purpose  would  cross 
Fort  Point  channel  in  the  same  location  as  the  30-inch  low 
service,  and  would  ultimately  connect  with  the  existing  high 
service  in  the  older  portion  of  South  Boston.  The  assessed 
valuation  of  buildings  in  this  part  of  South  Boston  is  $3,71 2,- 
500,  an  increase  of  $2,088,100  in  the  past  ten  years. 

I  recommend  that  the  present  siphons  under  Fort  Point 
channel  at  Dover  street  be  widened  to  sixty  feet  at  an  early 
date. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

William  Jackson,  ' 

City  Engineer.
