AI Summary
This bill establishes a Water Infrastructure Improvement Fund within the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust to provide grants to local governments for maintaining and improving municipal drinking water, replacing lead service lines, and upgrading waste and stormwater infrastructure. The fund will be financed through the issuance of $1 billion in bonds by the state. The amount of grant funding each municipality receives will be determined by a formula based on road miles, population, and employment factors. To receive grants, municipalities must develop an asset management plan, implement a full cost pricing program, and submit an application.
