Apple Valley; water treatment plant improvements funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3632 allocates $40 million in state bond funds to improve Apple Valley's water treatment plant specifically to address PFAS chemicals (a type of contaminant found in drinking water) in the city's water supply. The funding covers all project phases, including planning, design, construction, and equipment for plant upgrades needed to remove these contaminants. This directly affects Apple Valley residents by enhancing the safety of their drinking water through infrastructure improvements. The state will issue bonds to finance this project, following Minnesota's bond procedures, with funds to be administered by the Public Facilities Authority.
