HR 7922 United States House · 118th Congress

To establish a Water Risk and Resilience Organization to develop risk and resilience requirements for the water sector.

HR 7922 creates a Water Risk and Resilience Organization (WRRO) to develop and enforce cybersecurity standards for large U.S. water systems. It directly affects community water systems serving 3,300+ people or major treatment works, requiring them to meet WRRO-approved cybersecurity requirements. The WRRO must be certified by the EPA, develop standards through a transparent process with public input, and monitor compliance via annual self-attestations and five-year assessments. The EPA reviews WRRO proposals but defers to its technical expertise, while the WRRO can impose penalties (up to $25,000/day) for violations, with penalties funding WRRO operations.
