Bill > SF3304

This bill appropriates $45.7 million from the clean water fund to the Public Facilities Authority in fiscal year 2026 for a grant to the city of Hastings to support a new Eastern Water Treatment Plant project. The funding will be used to predesign, design, construct, and equip the water treatment plant, with a specific focus on removing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and nitrates from the city's drinking water. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals known for their potential health risks, and nitrates can be harmful in high concentrations. The bill also includes funding to interconnect the Minnesota Veterans Home with the new water treatment facility. The appropriation is a one-time funding allocation and will be available until June 30, 2029, providing the city with several years to complete the project.
