Cold Spring wastewater treatment facility improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $29.86 million from state bond proceeds to fund specific upgrades at Cold Spring's wastewater treatment facility. The funds will cover designing, constructing, and equipping the facility, including replacing the existing filter system with a new biological nutrient removal process and improving biosolids management infrastructure. The city of Cold Spring directly receives the grant to complete these upgrades, while the state will issue bonds to cover the cost. The bill authorizes the sale of state bonds up to the appropriation amount to finance these facility improvements.
