Hastings; water treatment plant funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1192 appropriates $16.6 million from state bond proceeds to fund the design, construction, and equipment for Hastings' Eastern Water Treatment Plant. The bill directly affects the City of Hastings and the Minnesota Veterans Home, which will be interconnected to the new plant. Key provisions include authorizing the state to issue bonds up to $16.6 million and requiring the plant to remove PFAS chemicals and nitrates from drinking water. This is a funding mechanism for a specific infrastructure project, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
