New Hampshire SB493 establishes funds for cyanobacteria mitigation and water quality protection in village districts.

New Hampshire SB493 amends RSA 52 to allow village districts to establish and contribute to contingency and reserve funds for cyanobacteria mitigation and water quality protection. Village districts can create special assessment districts to provide public facilities and services for these purposes. The bill also allows village districts to enter into agreements with other districts or towns for joint action and funding. The contingency fund is limited to one percent of the previous year's appropriation, excluding capital expenditures and debt amortization.
