An Act To Repeal And Replace The Charter Of The Yarmouth Water District

LD 1747 replaces the existing charter for the Yarmouth Water District with a new one. The bill defines the district's territory as including the Towns of Yarmouth and North Yarmouth, and states its purpose is to provide safe drinking water for residents and protect water sources within that area. Key provisions clarify that the district can use water from the Royal River, local springs, and aquifers, but requires joint approval from Yarmouth/North Yarmouth trustees and New Gloucester officials to access water sources in New Gloucester. The district is also authorized to build infrastructure like pipes, treatment plants, and dams to deliver water throughout its territory.
