On March 29, 2023, Governor Healey signed into law a supplemental budget bill which, among other things, extends the temporary provisions pertaining to the Open Meeting Law to March 31, 2025. Specifically, this further extension allows public bodies to continue holding meetings remotely without a quorum of the public body physically present at a meeting location, and to provide “adequate, alternative” access to remote meetings. The language does not make any substantive changes to the Open Meeting Law other than extending the expiration date of the temporary provisions regarding remote meetings from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2025.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE
The Cotuit Water Department will be flushing water mains (weather permitting) from: March 15 – June 16, 2023
9 AM – 4 PM Monday through Friday
Water main flushing is part of a preventive maintenance program being undertaken by the Water Department to ensure that water quality is not being compromised.
Discoloration of the water may occur. This is an unavoidable effect of flushing, with an aesthetic value only, and is not considered a health hazard. The water should clear after a short period of time.
Signs will be visible in flushing areas. Residents in these areas are advised to refrain from laundering between 9 am and 4 pm and to set water aside for drinking and cooking purposes.
All village residents are advised to check water clarity before use, while this program is in operation, as water lines outside the flushing area could be affected.
Flushing locations will be posted daily on cotuitfiredistrict.org and on Facebook at facebook.com/Cotuit-Water-Department. Please call Cotuit Water at 508-428-2687 with any questions.
