Municipal option to abate property taxes on infrastructure of certain water companies

Any municipality may, upon approval by its legislative body or in any town in which the legislative body is a town meeting, by the board of selectmen, abate for a period of up to ten years all or a portion of the property taxes due on and after July 1, 1997, for property owned by an entity that has acquired a water company pursuant to the provisions of section 16-262o.
