The Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission was established by St 1926, c 375, for the purpose of extending and increasing the water supply of the metropolitan water system, and of such cities and towns not members of the Metropolitan Water District as might require water from that system. Abolished by St 1947, c 583, its functions were transferred to the Metropolitan District Commission, specifically to its Construction Division.
