AWWA Supports Introduction of Collaborative Cybersecurity Legislation

**Executive Summary:** The American Water Works Association (AWWA) publicly supports H.R.2594, the Water Risk and Resilience Organization Establishment Act, which would authorize an independent, non-federal organization—overseen by the EPA—to lead development of cybersecurity requirements for the water sector; AWWA emphasizes the need for collaborative, tailored cybersecurity solutions given the diversity of utilities and applauds Rep. Rick Crawford for sponsoring the bill.
