Bill > HF2697

This bill extends the timeline for a grant previously awarded to the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) for upgrading wastewater treatment infrastructure. Specifically, the bill modifies a 2023 appropriation of $17.5 million that was originally allocated for designing, constructing, and rehabilitating four secondary clarifiers in the district's wastewater treatment system. The key change is an extension of the bond sale authorization and appropriation deadline from the original terms to December 31, 2029, which provides the WLSSD with additional time to complete the clarifier rehabilitation project. By amending the original legislation and extending the deadline, the bill gives the sanitary district more flexibility in implementing its critical wastewater infrastructure improvements, despite potential delays that may have occurred since the initial grant was awarded.
