An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for water and sewer projects.

HB 388 allows Pennsylvania municipalities to repair or replace private sewer and water pipes connecting homes to public systems using public funds or employees, if the work benefits public health or infrastructure. It requires municipalities to prioritize using "American-made" materials for these repairs and to publish a public notice in local media if American-made supplies are unavailable. Property owners can then object within 30 days, providing evidence that American-made materials are available, with objections treated as formal appeals. This directly affects local governments managing infrastructure and property owners whose private pipes may be upgraded.
