In general, Section 2013 of America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 requires each
community water system serving a population greater than 3,300 persons to conduct an
assessment of risks to, and resilience of, its system. The Risk & Resilience Assessment shall
include an assessment of:
1. The risk to the system from malevolent acts and natural hazards;
2. The resilience of the pipes and constructed conveyances, physical barriers, source of
water, water collection and intake, pretreatment, treatment, storage and distribution
facilities, electronic, computer, or other automated systems (including security of
such systems) which are utilized by the water system;
3. The monitoring practices of the system;
4. The financial infrastructure of the system;
5. The use, storage, or handling of various chemicals by the system;
