Bill > HF616

This bill appropriates $7,039,000 from state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority for water infrastructure improvements in the city of Ghent, Minnesota. The funding is divided into two main components: $5,084,000 will be used to acquire property and improve the city's sanitary ponds, addressing water quality and capacity issues caused by inflow, infiltration, and population growth, while $1,955,000 will fund the construction of a new water tower and associated drinking water infrastructure. The new water tower aims to improve water pressure for residents and fire suppression purposes, and to meet requirements set by Lincoln Pipestone Rural Water. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the total appropriation amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional guidelines. The bill will take effect the day after it is finally enacted.
