SF1017

Senate File No. 1017 is a proposed law in Minnesota that aims to address contamination from polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Sauk Rapids. The bill plans to allocate $3,600,000 from state bond funds to the Pollution Control Agency. This money will be used to grant the city of Sauk Rapids for upgrading their drinking water infrastructure. These upgrades include designing and constructing new water wells, improving a booster station and well houses, extending a water main, and making enhancements to the existing water treatment facility. This financial support is intended to help mitigate PFAS contamination in the city’s water supply. To finance these improvements, the bill also authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds as outlined by Minnesota statutes and the state constitution.
