Water Security

Improving the security and resilience of our nation's drinking water and wastewater infrastructures is vital to ensure the provision of clean and safe water to all in the United States. Significant actions are underway to assess and reduce consequences, threats, and vulnerabilities to potential terrorist attacks; to plan for and practice response to natural disasters, emergencies, and incidents; and to develop new security technologies to detect and monitor contaminants and prevent security breaches. Learn more about water security.

EPA, in partnership with drinking water and wastewater utilities and their associations, has developed four goals that will drive development of EPA’s security and resiliency program. These goals are:

Goal 1 – Sustain protection of public health and the environment

Goal 2 – Recognize and reduce risk

Goal 3 – Maintain a resilient infrastructure

Goal 4 – Increase communication, outreach and public confidence
