Bill > SF1010

This bill appropriates $33 million in state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority for the city of Stillwater to fund water treatment plant improvements. Specifically, the funds will be used to predesign, design, construct, and equip up to three water treatment plants and associated water infrastructure, with a primary goal of removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the city's drinking water wells. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for potential health risks and environmental persistence. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the $33 million amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional guidelines. The bill would become effective immediately after it is enacted, providing Stillwater with critical funding to upgrade its water treatment infrastructure and improve drinking water safety for residents.
