Whereas, uninterrupted collection and distribution of water is essential to the health and welfare of inhabitants of Chesterville and Farmington; and

Whereas, the formation of the water district is urgently needed to ensure that the collection and distribution of water is not interrupted; and

Whereas, the water district may apply for and receive grants to ensure uninterrupted water service; and

Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
