Oak Park Heights; funding for design of water infrastructure improvements for PFAS treatment provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3637 appropriates $1.6 million from state bond proceeds to fund the design and engineering of water infrastructure improvements in Oak Park Heights specifically to remove PFAS chemicals from the city's drinking water supply. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds up to $1.6 million to cover this cost, with funds directed through the Public Facilities Authority to the city. This legislation directly affects Oak Park Heights residents by targeting PFAS treatment in their municipal water system. The funding is for the design phase only, not for construction, and becomes effective upon final enactment.
