Residents of North Smithfield, did you know you have a sewer commission working on your behalf? The committee was enacted to provide sewer services with the Town of North Smithfield. They will have responsibility for the construction, alteration, repair, maintenance and operation relating to the functions and services within its jurisdiction as defined in the Public Laws of Rhode Island of 1973. If interested in seeking appointment to the organization, you may submit an application to the town clerk. The sewer commission shall consist of five members each a qualified elector of the town, appointed by the town council for a term of five years.
Most recently the Sewer Commission worked on an assessment project and submitted recommendations for sewer assessment methods, as well as, fee structure. In making their analysis there were many factors to consider such as the planned rate of sewer expansion, the current infrastructure make-up, composition and age of the sewer system, and the economic condition of the users of the potential sewer system. The final recommendation of the commission was to offer any person who, with the approval of the board and town council, pays any portion of the cost of installing or repairing a sewer in a street or highway bordering their property and who agrees to convey all of the right, title, and interest in such sewer to the town may apply to the board for a credit against his sewer assessment for the value of the work which was financed.
