Whereas, an adequate supply of pure water is essential to the health and well-being of the inhabitants of the Village of Tenants Harbor; 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,
