This new legislation, enforced by the United <br />States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), requires all community water <br />systems serving more than 3,300 people to conduct a Vulnerability Assessment. <br />This requirement was designed to help water systems evaluate susceptibility to <br />potential threats and identify corrective actions that can reduce or mitigate the <br />risk of serious consequences from adversarial actions (e.g., vandalism, insider <br />sabotage, terrorist attack, etc.). <br /> <br />In addition to conducting the Vulnerability Assessment, communities with water <br />systems serving over 3,300 people will also be required to update their <br />Emergency Response Plan (ERP). The Vulnerability Assessment must be <br />completed and submitted by June 30, 2004. The update of the Emergency <br />Response Plan (ERP) must be completed six months after the submission of the <br />Vulnerability Assessment. <br /> <br />On January 12, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution No. 6161 approving <br />a contract award to Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, & Associates (BRAA) to assist <br />the City in conducting a Water Vulnerability Assessment and updating the <br />Emergency Response Plan. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
