Duluth North Shore Sanitary District funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill provides $958,000 in state funding to the Duluth North Shore Sanitary District to improve its sewer collection system. The money will be used for design, engineering, and construction projects such as sewer lining, pipe replacement, manhole rehabilitation, and flow monitoring to reduce sanitary sewer overflows and pollution in Lake Superior. The state will issue bonds to raise the necessary funds, which will come from the bond proceeds fund and be managed by the commissioner of employment and economic development. This legislation directly affects the sanitary district and the communities relying on its wastewater infrastructure.
