America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) section 2013 revised Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) section 1433 and requires community water systems (CWS) serving more than 3,300 people to prepare or revise and certify risk and resilience assessments (RRAs) and emergency response plans (ERPs) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by specified deadlines every five years. The next five-year re-certification deadlines are quickly approaching, with deadlines beginning in 2025 for larger CWSs and ending in 2026 for smaller CWSs.
Water and Wastewater Agency Response Networks (WARN), the intrastate mutual aid and assistance network of "utilities helping utilities", is one strategy that utilities can use to build resilience. In this webinar, EPA will provide examples of how utilities can utilize WARN and add WARN to their RRA and ERP.
