Cottonwood County land acquisition appropriation from the clean water water fund

SF 2487 appropriates $3.9 million from Minnesota's Clean Water Fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Red Rock Rural Water System for acquiring land containing a groundwater aquifer in Cottonwood County. This funding directly supports the water system's ability to maintain safe, high-quality water services for its community by protecting a critical groundwater source. The bill's key mechanism is a specific grant allocation to secure this land, ensuring long-term water supply reliability. It does not change water quality standards or regulations but provides targeted financial support for infrastructure protection.
