What happened
New England Development proposed a $8.5 million developer-funded pipeline from Brockton to serve the South Weymouth base redevelopment, delivering 350,000 gallons a day with 75,000 gallons going to Abington-Rockland and 275,000 reserved for the base, with construction taking about two and a half years. The board took no vote, with commissioners stressing the session was informational only; staff must finalize a memorandum of understanding, complete a hydraulic study, and evaluate water quality and budget impact before the board can act.
