Middlesex County adopts comprehensive-plan amendment to designate water service district
Summary
The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved AM-2024-06 to designate the county as a water service district, enabling related zoning and water-code changes; staff and the planning commission recommended approval and emphasized exemptions for existing systems.
Middlesex County supervisors voted unanimously to adopt AM-2024-06, a comprehensive-plan amendment that formally designates the county as a water service district and enables related zoning and water-code changes.
Planning staff told the board the amendment updates an old "water and wastewater facilities" section into a standalone water section and creates the legal foundation for the zoning, subdivision and water-code provisions the board approved earlier this year. "The purpose of it is to establish the water service districts in the county," staff said, noting the planning commission had recommended the amendment 8–0 and staff recommended approval. Staff explained the amendment contains exemptions for the town of Urbana, properties already served by municipal systems or Aqua, and certain private systems permitted by the Office of Drinking Water. By vote, the board adopted AM-2024-06 and directed staff to proceed with the implementing code changes.
