Small System Risk and Resilience Assessment Checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPA released this small system checklist to assist with meeting the AWIA requirements.\u00a0 The checklist is a form fillable pdf.\u00a0 If you have any trouble locating or using the document, please let me know.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/waterresilience\/small-system-risk-and-resilience-assessment-checklist<\/a><\/p>\n

This guidance is intended for small community water systems (CWSs) serving greater than 3,300 but less than 50,000 <\/strong>people to comply with the requirements for risk and resilience assessments under America\u2019s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA).<\/p>\n

For larger CWSs, EPA recommends the\u00a0Vulnerability Self-Assessment Tool (VSAT) Web 2.0<\/a>\u00a0or an alternate risk assessment method. CWSs serving 3,300 or fewer people <\/strong>are not required to conduct risk and resilience assessments under AWIA. EPA recommends, however, that very small CWSs use this or other guidance to learn how to conduct risk and resilience assessments and address threats from malevolent acts and natural hazards that threaten safe drinking water.<\/p>\n

This guidance will help small CWSs meet the requirements for risk and resilience assessments in AWIA.\u00a0This guidance does not address emergency response plans (ERPs), which are also required under AWIA for CWSs serving more than 3,300 people<\/strong>. EPA has developed an\u00a0Emergency Response Plan Template and Instructions<\/a>\u00a0for CWSs to comply with AWIA. Be sure to save this pdf and then open on your computer.\u00a0 This will also allow you to open the template.<\/p>\n

Further, this guidance does not cover all aspects of water system security and resilience, such as asset management, climate change, and emergency preparedness and response.
