The bill titled "An Act establishing long term water supply sustainability for the city known as the town of Bridgewater" mandates the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to collaborate with the town of Bridgewater to assess the feasibility of various potential water resources. These resources include the Taunton River, land associated with the Massachusetts Correction Institution, and privately owned properties within the town. To facilitate this study, the DEP is required to form a committee that includes officials from Bridgewater.
Furthermore, the committee is tasked with evaluating the viability of the identified resources for future water supply development in Bridgewater. This initiative aims to ensure sustainable water supply solutions for the town, addressing long-term water resource management needs.
