AI Summary
This bill establishes the Water Infrastructure Improvement Fund to provide grants to local government units for maintenance and improvements to municipal drinking, waste, and storm water infrastructure. The fund, administered by the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust, will allocate grant funding to municipalities based on a formula considering road miles, population, and employment factors. To receive grants, municipalities must develop an asset management plan, implement a full cost pricing program, and comply with relevant regulations and permits. The bill authorizes the state treasurer to issue up to $1 billion in bonds to fund the program, with the interest and principal payable from the General Fund.
