Establishes the Birch Hill-Highview Water District in the town of Southeast, Putnam County
This bill legally validates the creation of the Birch Hill-Highview Water District in Southeast, Putnam County, which serves 24 residences. It addresses past legal errors where the town used general funds to build and repair the water system without proper approval or bond resolutions, actions that were previously prohibited by state law. The legislation confirms the district's authority to operate and collect fees from residents while allowing the town to seek grants and loans for necessary water quality improvements. By ratifying the district's formation, the bill enables the town to fix contamination issues and manage the water supply without facing penalties for previous procedural mistakes.
