This funding will support various projects, including the replacement of raw water intake and pump house infrastructure on Burntside Lake, rehabilitation of water mains throughout the city, installation of new pumps and automated controls, and significant upgrades at the Ely water treatment plant, such as roof replacement and HVAC improvements.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $3,919,000, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
