Bill > HF3252

This bill establishes a drinking water contaminate mitigation program in Minnesota to help residents in areas with high manganese levels in their water. The program allows homeowners or lessees with household incomes of $95,000 or less, living in designated "impacted areas" with elevated manganese levels, to receive rebates up to $1,400 for installing eligible water treatment systems. Rebates will be processed through licensed water or plumbing contractors, who must submit detailed applications and certify that the water treatment systems comply with Minnesota Plumbing Code. Contractors will receive the rebate directly and are required to collect 10% of the cost upfront from the property owner. The bill also includes a one-time appropriation from the general fund to the Pollution Control Agency to fund these rebates, with the funds available until June 30, 2028. The goal is to help residents in affected areas improve their drinking water quality by making water treatment systems more financially accessible.
