The Minnesota Senate Capital Investment Committee recently visited the Joint Powers Water Board’s regional water treatment facility project in Albertville as a part of the committee’s 2025 statewide bonding tour. The visit was hosted by State Senator Eric Lucero of St. Michael.
The proposed project is seeking 10 million dollars in state funding to help upgrade a 25-year-old treatment plant that serves more than 32 thousand residents in Albertville, Hanover, and St. Michael.
The Joint Powers Water Board’s project would replace outdated treatment systems to remove high levels of manganese and radium found in the water.
Senator Lucero said the visit highlighted the kind of project that he believes should be the focus of state bonding dollars.
Lucero is the chief author of a Senate File calling for appropriation of funds toward the project in one of the fastest growing parts of Wright County, and Minnesota as a whole.
