New Auburn; stormwater, wastewater, and drinking water infrastructure funding provided; bonds issued; and money appropriated.

HF 468 provides $9 million in state funding to the city of New Auburn for critical water infrastructure upgrades. The bill appropriates money from state bond proceeds to cover predesign, construction, and equipment for stormwater drainage systems, wastewater treatment facilities, and drinking water pipes. This includes replacing outdated sewer systems, improving water flow and fire protection, and enhancing water quality. The state will issue up to $9 million in bonds to finance these projects, which directly benefit New Auburn residents through safer, more reliable water and sewer services.
