AN ACT VALIDATING AND RATIFYING AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER OF THE HARRISVILLE FIRE DISTRICT

SB 1008 validates and ratifies amendments to the Harrisville Fire District charter to formally consolidate its water department with the Pascoag Utility District, creating the Clear River Electric and Water District. This procedural bill updates the district's legal charter to reflect an existing consolidation agreement, affecting the Harrisville Fire District and Pascoag Utility District residents by merging their water and electric services under a single entity. It does not change service provisions or rates but legally formalizes the operational merger.
