AI Summary

This bill aims to improve municipal water infrastructure. It establishes the Municipal Water Infrastructure Trust Fund, which will be managed by the board and used to fund municipal or regional water infrastructure projects. The fund will be financed through a $0.70 per 1,000 gallons assessment on water withdrawn by municipalities, with three-quarters of the funds distributed to the municipalities based on their water usage and one-quarter going to the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust. Municipalities must report annually on how they use the funds for water infrastructure projects.
