Water Utility Risk and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response Plan Reminder!

Does your Water Utility serve between 3,300 and 49,999 customers? If so, you will need to develop or update a Risk and Resilience Assessment by June 30, 2021, and your Emergency Response Plan by December 31, 2021. The Oldsmar Florida Water Treatment Facilities hack, as summarized in our February 2, 2021, Utility SCADA Systems Cybersecurity Blog, is a reminder of the importance of protecting our infrastructure and our public health. The Risk and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response Plan preparation and completion certifications are required as part of America’s Water Infrastructure Act.

The staff at Commonwealth are ready to help your utility comply with this fast-approaching deadline. If you would like to discuss this requirement, please contact Brady Dryer at 317-888-1177.
