To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize sewer overflow and stormwater reuse municipal grants.

# HR 5730 Summary **What the Bill Does** HR 5730 would reauthorize federal grant programs that help cities and municipalities manage sewer overflows and stormwater runoff. These grants fund infrastructure projects that prevent sewage and stormwater from backing up into streets, basements, and waterways during heavy rain or system malfunctions. The bill updates and renews the authorization for these existing grant programs under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects local governments and municipalities that operate water and sewer systems.

Residents in affected cities would benefit from improved water infrastructure that reduces flooding and water quality problems. The bill also impacts environmental conditions in rivers, streams, and coastal waters that receive untreated overflow discharge. **Current Status** HR 5730 was introduced by Representative Christopher Deluzio (D-PA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. No further action has been taken at this time.
