HF356

This bill, introduced in the Minnesota State Legislature, seeks to address the issue of PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination in the city of Sauk Rapids. It outlines a financial plan to improve the city's drinking water infrastructure to eliminate and manage PFAS pollution. The bill proposes an allocation of $3,600,000 from the state's bond proceeds fund to finance the project. This fund is to be used specifically for the construction of new drinking water wells, enhancements to existing water booster stations, updates to well houses, the installation of additional water mains, and upgrades to the existing municipal water treatment facility. To raise the necessary funds, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds.
