An Act relative to funding water infrastructure and addressing economic target areas

This bill creates a new Commonwealth Water Infrastructure Trust Fund to finance water system improvements across Massachusetts. It requires cities and towns to collect an additional $250 per residential connection and $1,000 per commercial or industrial connection, with these fees automatically deposited into the fund. The collected money is then distributed to municipalities based on their previous fee collections, while the remainder supports the state's Clean Water Trust and a special initiative for economic target areas. Local governments must also submit annual reports detailing how the funds are used for water infrastructure projects.
