SF 3578 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

City of Lake Elmo water-use permits modifications

This bill modifies water-use permit requirements for the City of Lake Elmo. It requires the state commissioner of natural resources to issue permits for the city's municipal water wells and allows increases to permit volumes based on approved annual water supply plans. The bill removes a previous requirement that all Lake Elmo permits include conservation measures similar to those near White Bear Lake. It expires June 30, 2027, and is effective upon enactment. The changes directly affect Lake Elmo's ability to manage its water infrastructure.
