AI Summary

This bill establishes the Water Infrastructure Improvement Fund to provide grants to local government units for maintenance and improvements to municipal drinking, waste, and stormwater infrastructure. The fund is administered by the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust and will be financed through the issuance of up to $1 billion in general obligation bonds. Local government units must meet certain requirements, such as developing an asset management plan and implementing a full cost pricing program, to be eligible for the grants. The amount of grant funding allocated to each municipality is determined by a formula that takes into account the number of road miles, population, and employment within the municipality.
