City of Sauk Rapids abatement and mitigation of PFAS contamination bond issuance and appropriation

This bill appropriates $3.6 million from state bonds to address PFAS contamination in Sauk Rapids' drinking water. The funds will directly support the city in designing and building infrastructure improvements, including three new wells, water main upgrades, and enhancements to existing treatment facilities. The money is sourced through a state bond sale authorized under Minnesota law, with the funds to be managed by the Pollution Control Agency. The project specifically targets PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) in the municipal water supply, affecting residents relying on Sauk Rapids' drinking water system.
