An Act relative to water flow in the Central Plymouth County Water District
This bill requires the Central Plymouth County Water District to maintain continuous water flow from Silver Lake, Monponsett Pond, and Furnace Pond to the Jones River, Stump Brook, and Herring Brook year-round, unless drought conditions prevent it. It directly affects water management practices for these specific water bodies and their connected rivers. The key provision mandates that water diversions must not endanger the environmental health of associated ponds and rivers, and the ponds must consistently supply flow to sustain river water quality and ecosystem health. This creates a concrete, enforceable standard for water flow management in the district.
