Report Description
Section 2013 of
America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA), which amended Section 1433 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), requires community (drinking) water systems (CWS) serving more than 3,300 people to conduct risk and resilience assessments (RRAs), prepare emergency response plans (ERPs), and certify to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that this work has been completed. CWSs must review, update (as needed), and re-certify their RRA and ERP to EPA every five years from the original deadlines specified in the law. For more information, please visit EPA’s
AWIA Section 2013 website.
This report will display which PWSIDs have and have not certified their RRA and ERP for the original AWIA compliance cycle, which took place during 2020-2021. After future five-year AWIA compliance deadlines have passed, EPA will update this report to add RRA and ERP certification data. Please see the
Certification deadlines section of the AWIA Section 2013 website for deadlines of upcoming five-year AWIA compliance cycles.
PWSIDs submit their AWIA Section 2013 RRA and ERP certifications directly to EPA, not to the Primacy Agencies. Thus, this certification data was not collected by and submitted to EPA’s SDWIS federal reporting services by the Primacy Agencies; the data was submitted from the AWIA Section 2013 Certification Database managed by EPA headquarters.
