An Act providing for improvements to the metropolitan water supply system
This law updates regulations for a specific parcel of land owned by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, directing its future use toward either a new water storage tank or a solar energy system. The bill explicitly prohibits building a water disinfection facility on the site while allowing the land to remain conservation property if the Authority no longer needs it for its approved projects. Additionally, the legislation requires the Authority to officially record a certificate confirming its ownership of the land within 60 days of the law taking effect.
