Water infrastructure funding program modifications provisions, point source implementation grant program modifications provisions, emerging contaminants grant program establishment and bond issuance and appropriation

This bill modifies Minnesota's water infrastructure funding programs to increase support for communities. It raises the maximum grant amount for water projects from $5 million to $10 million per project (or $20,000 per connection), adjusts affordability thresholds for wastewater and drinking water systems based on household income, and establishes a new "emerging contaminants grant program" to address new water pollution threats. These changes apply to governmental units (like cities and counties) seeking funding for wastewater treatment, drinking water systems, and projects meeting federal or state water quality standards. The bill also authorizes bond issuance to fund these programs, with specific provisions for areas with challenging geology or strict discharge limits.
