Western Lake Superior Sanitary District wastewater treatment funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 2698 appropriates $20 million from state bond proceeds to fund a new wastewater filtration system at the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District's treatment facility in Duluth. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds up to $20 million to cover this cost, with the funds provided as a grant to the sanitary district. This directly affects the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District and the residents of Duluth who rely on its wastewater services. The key mechanism is the bond issuance and appropriation specifically for constructing the new filtration system at the Duluth facility.
