An Act amending the act authorizing the town of Deerfield to construct and operate systems of sewers
This bill authorizes the town of Deerfield to build and run sewer systems by updating the state laws that govern such projects. It changes the town's governing body name from "board of selectmen" to "selectboard" and sets a limit that the town must pay no more than 25 percent of the total construction costs. The legislation also grants the town the power to collect unpaid sewer fees through tax liens and allows for minor clerical edits to the bill before it becomes law.
