AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the water flow and environmental health of the central water district of Plymouth County.

The bill also requires that Silver Lake, Monponsett Pond, and Furnace Pond be managed to provide continuous flow to the out-flowing rivers, including Jones River, Stump Brook, and Herring Brook, in order to support the water quality and maintain the health and function of the ecosystem, except when prevented by drought conditions.
