Apple Valley water treatment plant improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $40 million from state bond proceeds to fund improvements at Apple Valley's water treatment plant specifically to remove PFAS chemicals (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from the city's drinking water. The funds will cover predesign, construction, and equipment for renovating and expanding the plant. The money comes from bonds authorized under Minnesota law, with the Public Facilities Authority granting the funds directly to Apple Valley. This directly affects Apple Valley residents by addressing PFAS contamination in their drinking water supply.
