This bill aims to establish a village district specifically focused on the protection and remediation of surface water quality in areas that share a body of water. It amends existing legislation by adding a new responsibility for village districts, which includes the protection and remediation of surface water quality. The current law's provisions regarding the layout, acceptance, construction, and maintenance of roads, as well as the maintenance of ambulance services, remain intact, with the addition of the new responsibility.
The specific legal language changes include the deletion of the conjunction "and" after the maintenance of ambulance services and the addition of a new clause (o) that explicitly states the responsibility for surface water quality. This bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, promoting consistent environmental policies among towns that share water resources.
