Oak Park Heights water infrastructure design improvements for treatment of PFAS bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $1.6 million from state bonds to fund the design and engineering of water treatment infrastructure improvements in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota, specifically to remove PFAS chemicals from the city's drinking water supply. The funds will cover the cost of planning and designing the infrastructure upgrades, not construction. The state will issue bonds to cover this expense, following standard bonding procedures under Minnesota law. The city of Oak Park Heights is the direct recipient of these funds to address PFAS contamination in its municipal water system.
