AI Summary
This bill, the Stop Sewage Overflow Act, amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to give priority for sewer overflow and stormwater reuse municipal grants to municipalities with high levels of sewage in their rivers. The bill also increases the federal share of project costs for eligible municipalities based on the percentage of household income spent on sewer service, ranging from 55% to 75% depending on the financial burden on residents.
