Saint Paul Regional Water Services funding provided for improvements to the Fridley pump station and to replace lead drinking water service lines, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the state to issue up to $3.5 million in bonds to fund repairs and upgrades for the Fridley pump station operated by Saint Paul Regional Water Services. The funds will specifically cover the replacement of aging electrical, mechanical, and piping systems, as well as improvements to water pumps and motors. Additionally, the legislation sets aside money for a separate appropriation to replace lead drinking water service lines, though the specific dollar amount for this second project is currently listed as blank in the text. Both funding sources are drawn from the state's bond proceeds fund and are intended to help the water utility maintain its infrastructure.
