Bill > SF1660

This bill appropriates $8,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the Pollution Control Agency to provide a grant to the city of Andover for addressing water contamination in the Red Oaks neighborhood. Specifically, the funding will be used to design and construct new municipal water mains in an area where testing has revealed contamination in private drinking water wells, representing the second phase of the Red Oaks contaminant mitigation project. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the $8,000,000 amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions are designed to help residents of the Red Oaks neighborhood access safe drinking water by replacing contaminated private wells with municipal water infrastructure, and will take effect immediately after final enactment.
