Bill > S2732

This bill allows the town of Sandwich to enter into a long-term (up to 99 years) contract with the private operator of the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities located at Joint Base Cape Cod, without going through the public bidding process required by state law. It also authorizes Sandwich to acquire an easement or other interest in the land or facilities on the base to secure access and ownership for the town's wastewater needs. Additionally, any capital contributions made by Sandwich for improvements to the facilities can be funded through state programs, and the town can incur debt for up to 30 years to finance these improvements, which will be excluded from the town's debt limit. Finally, the bill allows Sandwich to enter into inter-municipal agreements with other nearby towns for wastewater services at the facility.
