Bill > H972

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), a public water and wastewater agency, to supply water to the Lynnfield Center Water District within the town of Lynnfield, Massachusetts. The bill amends a previous act from 1984 by adding Lynnfield Center Water District to the list of communities the MWRA can serve. Before providing water services, the MWRA's board of directors must vote to approve the service after carefully reviewing six specific criteria and making additional determinations in accordance with the authority's policies. The bill also specifies that the provision of water services will only commence after obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, including those from the MWRA's advisory board. Notably, the bill explicitly exempts this water service agreement from a specific section (section 71) of the original 1984 act, suggesting a unique or tailored approach to this particular water service expansion.
