Bill Summary

Relative to a town center wastewater service area for the town of Norfolk (Senate, No. 2945).

AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate wastewater services in the town of Norfolk, Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to allow the select board to manage the town's limited wastewater treatment capacity by controlling connections to the common sewer system within a designated town center wastewater service area. The bill authorizes the town to charge property owners a proportional prepayment for the cost of the common sewers, and allows the town to assess surcharges on subsequent connections to cover the prepayment made by the initial connectors. The bill also establishes a Town Center Wastewater Enterprise Fund to finance the construction, operation, and maintenance of the town's wastewater system in the designated service area.
