The House Resolution introduced by Representatives Pugh, Pickett, Reichard, Kuzma, Olsommer, Harris, Walsh, Rasel, and Gillen on July 16, 2025, urges the President, Congress, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address the financial burdens imposed on municipalities in Pennsylvania due to the requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) storm water management program. The resolution highlights that compliance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act has led to significant economic strain on local governments, which in turn has resulted in increased fees for residents, businesses, and property owners.

The resolution calls for legislative action to update the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to ensure fair treatment of all residents regarding water pollution management. It also encourages collaboration between the President, the EPA, and municipalities nationwide to find solutions for storm water management that alleviate the financial pressures on taxpayers. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to key federal officials and members of Congress from Pennsylvania to advocate for these changes.
