Bill Summary
Relative to the sewer system and adoption of a sewer assessment bylaw in the town of Orleans. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Orleans to rescind a previous law (Chapter 381 of the Acts of 2008) and adopt a new sewer assessment bylaw. The bylaw would allow the town to assess sewer betterments (charges) based on the property's water usage, rather than a flat rate. The bylaw outlines a "uniform unit method" for determining sewer assessments, where a single sewer unit is equal to the average residential water usage, and properties are assigned sewer units based on their actual water usage relative to the average. The bill also addresses how sewer units would be calculated for undeveloped residential and non-residential properties based on their potential use under zoning laws.
