The fund will be managed by the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue, who will distribute 50% of the funds to the cities and towns that collected the fees, 40% to the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust for water infrastructure projects, and 10% to the Department of Revenue for administration and enforcement. The bill also requires cities and towns receiving funds from the trust fund to submit annual reports on the water infrastructure projects funded.
