This bill proposes appropriating $10 million from bond proceeds for improvements to a regional water system serving Albertville, Hanover, and St. Michael, Minnesota. The funds would be allocated to the Public Facilities Authority for a grant to the Joint Powers Water Board. The project focuses on expanding water treatment capacity from 10 to 15 million gallons and addressing issues related to manganese and radium contamination. To finance this appropriation, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $10 million under the relevant Minnesota statutes and the state constitution.
