Charter Agreement of the North Shore Water Resiliency Task Force
This charter agreement is a major milestone in creating health and resiliency for the Ipswich River watershed and ecosystem!
The agreement, which was 6 years in the making, establishes a framework and ground rules between the Ipswich River Watershed Association and all cities and towns in the watershed or deriving water from it. It was signed on September 28, 2022.
The agreement is a collaborative effort to improve water supply resilience AND ecosystem health in the watershed. It is the first time that that every city and town and IRWA has agreed in writing on the need to address both issues equally and simultaneously. The Task Force is being led by Senator Bruce Tarr and convened by all 24 members of the State Legislative delegation that serve these communities and is supported by 26 official stakeholder organizations.
