### What does this data set describe?

Title: matt-parcels-assessors-2006
Abstract:
  Mattapoisett Parcel data with Assessors Data from December 2006, Tighe & Bond data from 2007, with sewer field updates based on 2008 sewer lines
Supplemental_Information:
  The "sewer" field may not be accurate. This data set needs to be updated with 2008 Assessors office data and additional sewer line extension data from Tighe and Bond.
