Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary,
the Massachusetts
Water Resources Authority is authorized to enter into a contract with
The New
England Center For Children, Inc., a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation
located in the town of Southborough to provide sewer services to said center.
A
political subdivision listed in paragraph

chapter 372
of the acts of 1984
is authorized, as a party to such contract or by a separate contract, to
provide
for the
conveyance
of sewage from said center to the sewer system of said authority if service to
said
center is not provided by a direct connection to said authority's sewer system.
The
connection authorized in this act shall be sized for and limited to use by
said
center, and any discharges into the connection shall be subject
to the direction, control and regulation of said authority pursuant to
said chapter 372.
Said contract shall include provisions to charge said center for all
expenses
and costs of connection and for sewer services said authority provides to said
center and
shall contain other terms and conditions applicable to the connection and for
the provision of sewer services as determined by said authority. The political
subdivision, if any, shall charge said center for the use of its sewer system
to
convey sewage to said authority's sewer system. Nothing in this act shall
grant
to the town of Southborough any rights to receive sewer services from said
authority or otherwise cause said town to have any of the rights or obligations
of the political subdivisions listed in said paragraph
(c)
of said
section 8 of said chapter 372.
