The report offers a detailed, historical look at the Dedham Water Company’s plant and the town’s option to own it. It explains how the system was built, what it includes, and the financial questions involved in a potential purchase.

This edition highlights the plant’s major components—pumping stations, standpipes, and extensive piping—along with the costs already invested and the town’s current rental payments. It also presents the committee’s assessment of value, risk, and the steps a town would need to follow if ownership were transferred.

- How the plant was financed, operated, and evaluated for value.
- The proposed paths for town ownership, including purchase, appraisal, and financing options.
- The practical implications for future water supply, rates, and local governance.
