Bill > HF1321

This bill provides $16,600,000 in state bond funding to the city of Hastings specifically for water treatment infrastructure improvements. The funds are designated to help the city predesign, design, construct, and equip three water treatment plants and associated water mains with the primary goal of removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from city wells. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for potential health risks, and this bill aims to address water quality concerns by enabling the city to upgrade its treatment facilities. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $16,600,000 amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state Constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, allowing the city to proceed quickly with its water treatment plant improvements.
