An Act relative to the Cotuit Fire District

This bill (HD 900) amends water district law to add a new provision (Section 5I) for Cotuit's water system. It allows the board of water commissioners to recommend property improvements (like infrastructure upgrades) to private landowners, but only after obtaining the owners' written consent. The district can then seek funding for these projects through a vote of the district residents. The direct effect is on Cotuit water district residents (who benefit from improved water quality) and property owners (who must approve work on their land). The bill does not change existing voting rules or create new taxes, only outlining a process for voluntary water quality enhancements.
