Bill > S2735

This bill dissolves the North Carver Water District, a special-purpose local government entity, and transfers all of its assets, liabilities, obligations, and operational responsibilities to the town of Carver. Specifically, the bill repeals the original legislative act that created the water district and immediately transfers all district assets and powers to the town. The town of Carver will now have the authority to provide water services to the former district area, including supplying water for fire extinguishment and domestic purposes, establishing and managing water infrastructure like fountains and hydrants, setting water usage rates, and collecting taxes to support water services. All existing water district commission members must transfer their files and records to the town's select board, and the water commissioners' board is abolished, with their powers transferring to the town's select board and director of operations. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a swift and comprehensive transition of water service responsibilities from the water district to the town of Carver.
