An Act Increasing The Debt Limit Of The West Paris Water District
This bill raises the maximum amount of debt the West Paris Water District can hold from $1 million to $8 million. The increase is intended to allow the district to fund the replacement of a water storage tank, which state regulators have ordered completed by December 31, 2027. Because the required funds exceed the district's current borrowing capacity, the legislation takes effect immediately upon approval rather than waiting for the standard 90-day delay.
