SUMMARY

This bill amends the Anson and Madison Water District charter by changing the date on which the terms of the trustees expire from November 15th to the date of the respective annual town meetings. The bill also strikes language that required the trustees of the Anson and Madison Water District, upon dissolution of the Madison Water District and the Anson Water District, to submit legislation to the Legislature to repeal the charters of the Madison Water District and the Anson Water District.
