And here we go again. So many things wrong here with this 'village' offer that we should not be entertaining a shared relationship. Back three years ago, Mayor Moak sent a letter from city legal stating that Newburyport did not have the 'legal right' to allow sewer connections outside the city. Plum Island order is real specific as to connections ordered.
At the same time the Sewer Commission and the City Council entertained letting Newbury 'invest' in the fixing of the Sewer Plant. Possibly raising the limits of the plant permit. They refused the offer and built a senior center. .
So now, what has changed? Policy and laws? Or control of the Enterprise funds?
Will our Water and Sewer reserves be able to handle future development in that area? Where will it stop? Route one south to Rowley, and beyond?

Newburyport legal statements from Moak's
term direct the Sewer Commission to discontinue service to non Newburyport residences and businesses. PI was accepted by court order. Last time around on Little River Village, the Newbury voters chose to build a Senior Center rather than invest in a plant upgrade that would that them partner with the City Newburyport. Partnering with the MBTA has its drawbacks too.
