Creates new group to protect big water systems from cyberattacks
This bill would create a new organization focused on protecting large community water systems and wastewater treatment plants from cyberattacks. This organization would set cybersecurity rules that these water systems would have to follow, helping to keep our drinking water and wastewater services safe and reliable.
Today, there isn't a single federal organization responsible for creating and enforcing cybersecurity rules for large community water systems and wastewater treatment plants. This bill would create a Water Risk and Resilience Organization (WRRO) that would develop these rules, monitor compliance, and impose penalties of up to $25,000 per day for violations, making these vital services more secure against cyber threats.
