Bill > S1549

This bill, known as the Water Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2025, amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to extend and expand the Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program. Specifically, the bill updates the grant program's authorization period from 2020-2021 to 2026-2031 and broadens the scope of allowable training and resource purchases. The legislation enables community water systems to receive grants for training programs and materials focused on cybersecurity, including programs that teach how to protect water systems from cyberattacks and how to respond effectively if such attacks occur. This update acknowledges the growing threat of cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure like public water systems and provides financial support to help water system operators enhance their preparedness and defensive capabilities against potential digital threats.
