Senate File No. 71 is a legislative proposal in Minnesota that aims to fund improvements to the sanitary sewer systems in the city of Waseca. It allocates $8,900,000 from the state's bond proceeds fund to finance the design, construction, and engineering of upgrades to the city’s sanitary sewers. These improvements are intended to reduce unnecessary water inflow and leakage, and also increase the capacity of the sewer system.
