AI Summary
This bill aims to establish the Commonwealth Water Infrastructure Trust Fund to address the state's water infrastructure needs. It proposes a new fee of $250 for residential property connections and $1,000 for commercial/industrial property connections to the municipal water or sewer services, which would be deposited into the fund. The fund would be managed by the Department of Revenue, with 50% of the funds distributed proportionately to municipalities based on the fees collected, 40% to the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust for water infrastructure projects, 5% to the Department of Environmental Protection for an economic target area water infrastructure initiative, and 5% for the Department of Revenue's administration and enforcement. The bill also requires municipalities receiving funds to report on the water infrastructure projects funded using the trust.
