AI Summary

This bill establishes the DHY Clean Waters Community Partnership, an inter-municipal agreement for wastewater management in the towns of Dennis, Harwich, and Yarmouth. The partnership will be a regional wastewater district responsible for managing and controlling the common pumping stations, interceptors, force mains, wastewater treatment plant, and effluent recharge and reuse system. The partnership will have the power to incur debt, assess member towns for expenses, and make contracts and regulations necessary to carry out its operations. The member towns will adopt an agreement consistent with the bill and may amend it, and the partnership will adopt by-laws for its effective functioning. The member towns can also independently assess charges, assessments, and fees to recover the costs of expanding the regional wastewater treatment works.
