Environmental Protection Agency
On October 23, 2018, America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) was signed into law. AWIA section 2013, which amended section 1433 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), requires community (drinking) water systems (CWSs) serving more than 3,300 people to develop or update risk and resilience assessments (RRAs) and emergency response plans (ERPs). The law specifies the components that the RRAs and ERPs must address, and establishes deadlines by which water systems must certify to EPA completion of the RRA and ERP.
