SF71

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. This includes the rebuilding of the Nelson Lift Station and may also cover the reconstruction of related infrastructure such as streets and sidewalks. To fund this, the state will issue bonds up to the amount specified. The bill does not require any financial contribution from non-state sources as matching funds.
