Oak Park Heights; water infrastructure improvement designs for PFAS treatment funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 214 appropriates $1.55 million from state bonds to fund the design and engineering work for Oak Park Heights' water infrastructure improvements targeting PFAS (chemicals in drinking water). The funds, sourced through state bond sales, will specifically support planning for municipal well and treatment system upgrades to remove PFAS from the city's drinking water supply. This bill directly affects Oak Park Heights residents by enabling the planning phase of a water treatment solution for PFAS contamination. The appropriation covers design costs only, not construction or operational expenses.
