Finstad Water Infrastructure Funding

Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01) has announced that he has secured $11.4 million in funding for rural water infrastructure across the First District of Minnesota. 

This federal investment supports community projects such as pipeline replacements, contamination remediation, new wells, filtration systems, and upgraded treatment facilities.

The City of Dennison was awarded $1-million dollars to be used to repair and replace the city’s drinking water and distribution system. This funding allows Dennison to have clean drinking water for residents and businesses and prevents the water systems current age from impacting water quality. 

The City of Pine Island was awarded $1-million dollars to be used for the construction of a new, regional wastewater treatment facility, the North Zumbro Sanitary Sewer District Wastewater Facility, which will efficiently serve the needs of four municipalities – Goodhue, Pine Island, Wanamingo, and Zumbrota, as well as the Prairie Island Indian Community – improving service and reducing costs.  

Minnesota’s First Congressional District stretches from the South Dakota border to the Wisconsin border, containing all or part of 21 counties in southern Minnesota, including Goodhue and Wabasha counties.
