Bill Summary

By Ms. Gobi, a petition of Anne M. Gobi, Peter J. Durant and Paul K. Frost (by vote of the town) to authorize the town of Charlton to impose municipal liens for certain outstanding water bills. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Charlton to treat outstanding water bills, even if those bills are owed to another municipality under an intermunicipal agreement, as "municipal charges" or "local charges and fees" within Charlton. This means Charlton can use the same legal tools, such as imposing municipal liens, to collect these debts as if it were directly providing the water services. This provision is particularly relevant when Charlton, rather than the individual property owner receiving the water, is obligated by an intermunicipal agreement to pay the other municipality for overdue water charges.
