St. Peter; water treatment facility improvements funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill appropriates $21.5 million from state bond proceeds to fund the rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure at St. Peter’s water treatment facility. The funds will cover predesign, design, construction, and equipment for the project, directly benefiting the city of St. Peter and its residents. The state will issue bonds up to $21.5 million under Minnesota law to provide the funding, with the Public Facilities Authority administering the grant to the city. The project aims to address failing water infrastructure without specifying future water rates or environmental impacts.
