Bill > HF2340

This bill appropriates $240 million from the Minnesota state general fund to the Public Facilities Authority in fiscal year 2026 specifically to provide grants for lead service line replacement. Lead service lines are underground pipes that connect water mains to individual buildings and historically were made of lead, which can cause serious health problems if the water becomes contaminated. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until June 30, 2033, which gives local governments and water utilities several years to apply for and use the grants to replace aging lead service lines with safer materials. The bill aims to help communities address potential public health risks associated with aging water infrastructure by providing significant funding to remove lead pipes from water systems.
