City of Newport water and sewer infrastructure appropriation and bond issuance authorization

This bill authorizes the issuance of up to $5.8 million in state bonds to fund infrastructure improvements for the City of Newport. The funds will be used to remove, replace, and install water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems, as well as reconstruct affected streets in specific areas of the city. The project aims to address issues with inflow and infiltration in the municipal water and sewer networks. The legislation directs the commissioner of management and budget to sell the bonds and provide the grant money to the Public Facilities Authority for implementation.
