Bill would let state water authority serve Wayland after required approvals

The proposed bill would allow the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to provide water service to Wayland. The provision covers water service from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to the town of Wayland. The authority’s board must vote to approve service after making the findings required by law and other determinations under its policies. All required approvals must be received, including approval from the authority’s advisory board and other regulators where required. The bill says section 71 of chapter 372 would not apply. Service could begin only after the authority’s board votes to approve it and all required approvals have been received.
