CHAPTER 57 AN ACT RELATIVE TO PROTECTING THE DRINKING WATER WELLS AND AQUIFERS OF THE IPSWICH RIVER WATERSHED.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately ensure the protection of the drinking water wells and aquifers of the Ipswich River watershed, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

SECTION 1. Subject to the provisions of chapter three hundred and seventy-two of the acts of nineteen hundred and eighty-four and any other general or special laws, for the purpose of protecting the drinking water wells and aquifers of the Ipswich River watershed, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority is hereby authorized to approve an extension of sewer service for the discharge of sanitary sewage from a parcel of land located in the towns of Wilmington and North Reading, and more particularly described as follows:

Beginning at a stake at the northwesterly corner thereof by a line running N 36<= 53' 27" E 141.11 feet to a point; thence turning and running N 10<= 4' 38" E 26.73 feet; thence turning and running S 9<= 26' 20" E 6.48 feet; thence turning and running S 7<= 36' 20" E 165.14 feet to a stake; thence turning and running N 82<= 37' 37" E 634.57 feet to a rod; thence turning and running N 8<= 7' 20" W 492.32 feet to a rod; thence turning and running N 80<= 29' 22" E 464.39 feet to a stone bound; thence turning and running on a curved line 17>= 28' 28" 223.03 feet to a stone bound; thence turning and running S 82<= 2' 10" E 192.04 feet to a point; thence turning and running S 7<= 57' 50" W 7.31 feet to a point; thence turning and running S 13<= 57' 10" E 547.50 feet to a point; thence turning and running S 80<= 40' 59" E 130 feet to a point; thence turning and running S 23<= 14' 10" E 620.94 feet to a pin; thence turning and running N 66<= 43' 28" E 251.50 feet to a point; thence turning and running N 80<= 20' 43" E 63.16 feet to pin; thence turning and running along a ditch as shown on the plan 145 feet to a point; thence turning and running S 15<= 15' 20" E 310 feet more or less to the Ipswich River; thence turning and running along the Ipswich River to a point of intersection with Interstate Highway Route 93; thence turning and running 490 feet along Interstate Highway Route 93 to a point; thence turning and running S 67<= 19' 30" E 44.33 feet to a point; thence turning and running N 7<= 59' 10" W 1,203.81 feet to the point of beginning.

Said sewer service is to be provided through the sewer system of the town of Reading via an extension of its system from the most northerly manhole on Grove street in the town of Reading to the aforesaid parcel of land.

SECTION 2. No further connections to, or expansions of, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority's sewer system in addition to those authorized in section one are authorized by this act.
