On October 23, 2018, America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) was signed into law. AWIA Section 2013 requires community (drinking) water systems serving more than 3,300 people to develop or update risk assessments and emergency response plans (ERPs). The law specifies the components that the risk assessments and ERPs must address, and establishes deadlines by which water systems must certify to EPA completion of the risk assessment and ERP.
ADEQ's workshop held on January 27th, 2020 at the Phoenix location will help to prepare public water systems for these requirements in conducting a risk & resiliency assessment and updating the Emergency Response Plans.
