In Citizens for Pers. Water Rights v. Borough of Hughesville, 815 A.2d 15 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002) the Court found persuasive the precedent of Stern v. Halligan, where a New Jersey municipal ordinance required owners to connect to a municipal water supply and to permanently disconnect from their well water supply. In the owners' suit challenging constitutionality, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the municipality, stressing that when general economic and welfare legislation is claimed to violate substantive due process it should be struck down only when it does not meet a minimum rationality standard, which is "'whether the law at issue bears any rational relationship to any interest that the state legitimately may promote.'"
