Cyber training and 2026-2031 deadlines for water systems
Community water systems would have to take cybersecurity training and buy manuals. The training would cover how to prevent and respond to cyberattacks. The bill would also move certain risk-and-resilience years to 2026 through 2031. This could improve safety but add costs that utilities may pass to customers. The requirements would start upon enactment, and no new funding is named.
