An Act amending the act of July 31, 1968 (P.L.805, No.247), known as the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, in subdivision and land development, further providing for water supply.
Referred to Local Government
Summary
Any subdivision or land‑development ordinance must include a provision that water be supplied by a certified public utility, a bona‑fide cooperative, or a municipal entity, not by individual private wells. Developers must submit proof—such as a PUCO certificate, a cooperative agreement, or a municipal service commitment—before the subdivision receives final approval. The amendment seeks to ensure reliable, regulated water service for new developments.
