Bill > SF1748

This bill appropriates $16.6 million in state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority to fund a water treatment plant project in the city of Hastings, Minnesota. The funds will be used to predesign, design, construct, and equip the Eastern Water Treatment Plant, with a specific focus on removing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and nitrates from the city's drinking water. The project also includes interconnecting the Minnesota Veterans Home to the new water treatment facility. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $16.6 million to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, enabling the city of Hastings to proceed with this critical water infrastructure improvement aimed at ensuring safe drinking water for local residents.
