Relating to: water diversion or elevation projects in towns.

This bill requires towns to approve water diversion or elevation projects before they can proceed. Specifically, it mandates that town boards must pass a resolution approving projects using pumps or other methods to divert water to unnatural locations or raise water levels above natural elevations. Exceptions only apply during emergencies. The law directly affects developers, municipalities, and property owners involved in such water projects within town boundaries. It creates a new requirement (Section 31.16) that replaces previous departmental authority for these projects.
