Bill > SF1749

This bill appropriates $16.6 million from Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Public Facilities Authority to provide a grant to the city of Hastings for a specific water treatment plant project. The funding will support the predesign, design, construction, and equipment of the Eastern Water Treatment Plant, with a particular focus on removing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and nitrates from the city's drinking water. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for their potential health risks, and nitrates can be harmful in high concentrations. The bill also includes funding to interconnect the Minnesota Veterans Home with this water treatment facility. The appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations.
