AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 21 of the General Laws to prohibit the use of "effluent water" in any "cooling tower" within the Commonwealth. Effluent water refers to wastewater that has been treated and discharged from a facility, and a cooling tower is defined as any device that releases waste heat into the atmosphere by cooling a water stream. The bill also states that the relevant division will assist the department in enforcing this new restriction and may issue additional rules and regulations regarding the use of effluent water.
