West Central Regional Water System funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1438 appropriates $9.7 million from state bond proceeds to fund Phase 1 of the West Central Regional Water System. The funds will be granted to Norman County, Clay County, Polk County, or any combination of two of these counties to acquire land, design, and construct infrastructure - including a trunk pipeline - for transporting drinking water to cities in those areas. The state will issue bonds up to $9.7 million to cover this appropriation, following Minnesota's bond authorization rules. This bill directly affects communities in the three specified counties that will receive the water infrastructure.
