Saint Paul Regional Water Services bond issue and appropriation for improvements to the Fridley pump station and to replace lead drinking water service lines

This bill authorizes the state to issue up to $3.5 million in bonds to fund infrastructure improvements for Saint Paul Regional Water Services. The funds will be used to repair and upgrade the Fridley pump station, including its electrical, mechanical, and piping systems, as well as 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 part is currently blank in the text. The bill directs the state's commissioner of management and budget to sell these bonds and provide grants to the water services provider once the legislation is enacted.
