S 2732 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to wastewater treatment and disposal in the town of Sandwich

This bill authorizes the town of Sandwich to enter into a long-term contract, up to 99 years, with a private operator to manage wastewater treatment and disposal services at facilities located on Joint Base Cape Cod. The legislation allows the town to bypass standard public bidding rules for this agreement and permits the acquisition of land easements to secure access to the infrastructure. Additionally, it enables the town to borrow money for improvements without counting against its usual debt limits and allows for cooperation with neighboring towns to share the facility's services.
