Water Security

Improving the security of our nation's drinking water and wastewater infrastructures has become a top priority since the events of 9/11. Significant actions are underway to assess and reduce vulnerabilities to potential terrorist attacks; to plan for and practice response to emergencies and incidents; and to develop new security technologies to detect and monitor contaminants and prevent security breaches.

Report any emergencies or threats to drinking water or wastewater utilities to 1-800-424-8802. Appropriate response will be activated. It would also be a good idea to report to your local law enforcement.

For tools for water systems and further information go to EPA's national water security Web site.
