Bill > SF1017

This bill provides $3,600,000 in state bond funding to the city of Sauk Rapids specifically to address PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination in its water supply. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for their potential health risks and persistence in the environment. The funding will support infrastructure improvements including constructing three new drinking water wells, upgrading booster station and well house facilities, installing additional water main infrastructure, and enhancing the existing municipal water treatment facility. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $3,600,000 amount to finance these improvements, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional guidelines. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, enabling the city to quickly proceed with its water infrastructure upgrades to mitigate PFAS contamination.
