The bill proposes an appropriation of $45,700,000 from the clean water fund for the city of Hastings to support the development of a new water treatment plant. Specifically, the funds will be allocated to the Public Facilities Authority for the predesign, design, construction, and equipping of the Eastern Water Treatment Plant. This initiative aims to address the removal of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and nitrates from the city's drinking water, ensuring safer water quality for residents.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for interconnecting the Minnesota Veterans Home to the new water treatment system. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding source, with the allocated funds available until June 30, 2029, allowing sufficient time for the completion of the project.
